Present simple – prosto sadašnje 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/she/it works. (On/ona/ono radi.) They work. (Oni rade.)

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:

 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:

 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

odgovoriti sa da ili ne. Wh- pitanja počinju upitnom rečju a one su: when, what, why, where, how, how much,
