THE PRESENT SIMPLE TENSE (SADAŠNJE PROSTO VREME)

Simple Present Tense (Prosto sadašnje vreme) se gradi od osnovnog oblika glagola (infinitiv bez to). Na primer, infinitiv sa
«to» glagola raditi glasi to work a infinitiv bez «to» glasi work. Za sva lica osim za treće lice jednine potvrdni oblik prostog sadašnjeg
vremena glasi work. Za treće lice se dodaje –s.

Potvrdni oblik
Jednina (singular) Množina (plural)

I work – Ja radim We work – Mi radimo

You work – Ti radiš You work – Vi radite

He works – On radi They work – Oni rade

She works – Ona radi
It works – Ono radi

Nastavak –s u trećem licu jednine može imati različite oblike. Ukoliko se glagol završava na vokal o nastavak će glasiti –es, kao u primeru
glagola go koji u 3. l. jed. glasi goes ili glagol do koji u 3. l. jed. glasi does.
Ukoliko se glagol završava na –ch, -sh, -x, -ss, nastavak takođe glasi –es.Na primer:
He teaches (teach – predavati).
She washes (wash – prati).
He kisses (kiss – ljubiti).
She fixes (fix – popravljati).
Ako se glagol završava na –y i ukoliko je ispred njega suglasnik –y prelazi u –ie. Na primer:
He cries (cry -plakati).
It flies (fly – leteti).
Ako je ispred –y samoglasnik, nema promene.
She plays (play – igrati).
He stays (stay – ostati).
Izuzetak je glagol have (imati) koji u trećem licu glasi has.

Upitni oblik glagola u Present Simple Tense-u se gradi od pomoćnog glagola Do, odnosno Does (za treće lice jednine) i
osnovnog oblika glavnog glagola. Sva pitanja se u engleskom jeziku dele na Yes/No pitanja i Wh- pitanja. Yes/No nemaju
upitnu reč i na njih se može odgovoriti sa Da ili Ne. Wh- pitanja počinju upitnom rečju a one su: when, what, why, where,
how, how much, how many...

Upotreba:

· Radnje koje se ponavljaju (navike, običaji, rutine)

She wears uniform at work. (Ona nosi uniformu na poslu.)
The English drink tea at 5 o`clock in the afternoon. (Englezi piju čaj u 5 sati popodne.)

U ovom smislu se mogu koristiti i prilozi i fraze za učestalost (reči koje označavaju koliko često se dešava radnja). To
su: Always (uvek), usually(obično), often (često), sometimes (ponekad), never (nikad), every day (svakog dana), every
month (svakog meseca), every year (svake godine) i sl. Zatim, once a year (jedanput godišnje), twice a day (dvaput
dnevno), three times a week (triput nedeljno) i sl.
Prilozi always, usually, often, sometimes, never dolaze pre glavnog glagola u potvrdnom obliku. Fraze every day, every
month, twice a year... najčešće dolaze na kraju rečenice.
I always go to school at 8 o`clock in the morning. (Ja uvek idem u školu u 8 sati ujutru.)
She usually drinks tea in the evening. (Ona obično pije čaj uveče.)
We never eat in the living room. (Mi nikad ne jedemo u dnevnoj sobi.)

 THE PRESENT CONTINUOUS TENSE
Present Continuous Tense (Sadašnje trajno vreme) se gradi od glagola TO BE u Present Simple Tense-u (Prostom
sadašnjem vremenu), tj.is/am /are+ present participle (sadašnji particip) glavnog glagola
Sadašnji particip se gradi kada se na infinitiv doda nastavak –ing:

go – going
sleep – sleeping
work – working

Ako se glagol završava na jedan suglasnik ispred kojeg stoji kratak, naglašen samoglasnik, krajnji se suglasnik ispred –
ing udvostručava. Npr.:

hit – udariti particip: hitting

stop – prestati particip: stopping
permit – dopustiti particip: permitting
begin – početi particip: beginning

Krajnje –l se uvek udvostručava.Npr.:

travel – putovati particip: travelling

Upotreba:
Present Continuous Tense (Sadašnje trajno vreme) se koristi za:

· Radnju koja se dešava u trenutku govora, te se stoga uz njega često nalaze vremenske odrednice now (sada) i at
the moment (u ovom trenutku).

· Privremenu radnju

kupimo.)

· Planove vezane za budućnost.

GLAGOLI KOJI SE NE UPOTREBLJAVAJU U PRESENT CONTINUOUS-u

Jedan broj glagola najčešće ne može da bude upotrebljen u trajnim vremenima. Najvažniji od njih su: hear – čuti, see –
videti , taste – okusiti , smell– mirisati, remember – setiti se , understand – razumeti , wish – želeti , want – hteti, know – znati
itd.
