Perceba que, ao contrrio do portugus, o ingls no possui muitas variaes na conjugao dos verbos no presente. A nica exceo feita para a terceira pessoa do singular (he, she, it) que, na maioria dos verbos recebe a letra s no final. Alguns exemplos:
We drink coffee every day. He drinks coffee every day. [Ns bebemos caf todo dia.] [Ele bebe caf todo dia.] Mark and Luke read comic books. She reads the newspaper. [Mark e Luke lem gibis.] [Ela l o jornal.] You eat vegetables. It eats vegetables. [Vocs comem legumes.] [Ele(a) come legumes.]
[Eu tenho duas irms.] [Jane tem duas irms.] They have a green shirt. Donald has a blue shirt. [Eles tm uma camisa verde.] [Donald tem uma camisa azul.]
Nem todos os verbos recebem apenas a letra s no final. Os verbos terminados em -ss, -o, -sh, -ch ou -x normalmente recebem es para a terceira pessoa do singular (he, she, it):
I go to the park every Sunday. My mother goes to the beach every Friday. [Vou ao parque todo domingo.] [Minha me vai praia toda sexta-feira.] You wash your car. He washes his bike. [Voc lava seu carro.] [Ele lava a bicicleta dele.] They fix cars. He fixes motorcycles and bikes. [Eles consertam carros.] [Ele conserta motos e bicicletas.]
J para os verbos terminados em y, precedido de consoante, descarta-se o y e acrescenta-se ies. Para os verbos terminados em y mas precedidos de vogal, basta acrescentar o s como na regra geral.
I study English every day. My mother studies French at university. [Eu estudo ingls todo dia.] [Minha me estuda francs na universidade.] I play the piano. She plays the piano. [Eu toco piano.] [Ela toca piano.]
