11At this time, let us study more about Simple Present Tense of the Verb. So, lend me your ears
12and listen attentively! Are you all set? (PAUSE) Excellent!
13Simple present tense indicates present time. It shows present action, a permanent condition,
14repeated or habitual action, and facts or general truth.
15Examples:
16The frogs and lizards eat insects.
17The bat hunts at night.
18When the subject of the sentence is in the third person singular, the verb ends with –s; if it is
19plural, use the base form of the verb.
20Examples:
21He speaks very fast.
22Subject “he” – singular verb “speaks” – singular
23She cooks delicious food.
24Subject “she” – singular verb “cooks” – singular
25They read the story silently.
26Subject “they” – plural verb “read”- plural
27They play ball sports.
28Subject “they” – plural Verb “play” – plural
29He sweeps the floor.
30Subject “he” – singular Verb “sweeps”- singular
31Simple present tense verbs have a special form for the third person singular called the s-form.
32Singular means one and plural means more than one. The person is used to show who or what
33does the action with these following forms:
34First person ----The self ---- I, we
35Second person ----The person spoken to ----You
36Third person ----Person not present ---- He, she, it, they
