THE AUXILIARIES ARE IMPORTANT SINCE WE CAN IDENTIFY IN WHAT TENSE A

PERSON IS SPEAKING.
NOW WE WILL TALK ABOUT

PRESENT SIMPLE TENSE

We use two auxiliaries for present tense:
DO I / YOU/ WE / THEY DON’T = Do not
DOES HE / SHE / IT DOESN’T= does not
They are used for negative statements and questions,
examples:
-He doesn’t like doing exercise / He likes doing exercise
-She doesn’t have a boyfriend / She has a boyfriend.
-They don’t live in Pereira / They live in Pereira
-We don’t work on the platform / We work on the plat..
-Do you work?
-Do they study English?
-Does he have a pet?

HOW WOULD YOU SAY…..

Ellos no comen frutas They don’t eat fruits
El no habla Frances He doesn’t speak French
Ellos viven en Bogotá? Do they live in Bogotá?
Ella va al gimnasio? Does she go to the gym?

But remember…… used for negative statements and

questions
