B. Simple Present Tense

Quoted from the Ministry of Education and Culture's English Module: Introduction

and Simple Present Tense, simple present tense is a type of tense in English to express

events that are currently taking place.

The meaning of simple present comes from the words "simple" which means simple

(usually done) and "present" means now. Tense itself is a verb that shows the time of

an event. This simple present tense is generally used to explain events that have become

a habit (habitual action). The verb used in the simple present tense is the first form of

the verb (verb 1).

1) Function of the Simple Present Tense

The function of the simple present tense is to express facts, habits, truths and

situations that are permanent, as reported on the BBC Learning English page.

There are several other explanations of the function of the simple present tense,

namely:

 Simple present tense is used to state general truths or facts. Example sentence:

Indonesia is a country in Southeast Asia.

 Simple present tense is used to describe a habit or daily activity. Example

sentence: Andi always healthy food.

 The simple present tense functions to make simple statements, which are

general (applicable at any time) or non-general (using the verb be). Example

sentence: He is so handsome.
  Simple present tense is used to talk about activities or plans that are scheduled

for the future (but have a time period). Example: The train leaves the station this

night at 8.00 PM (The train leaves the station tonight at 20.00 PM).

2) Characteristic

Quoted from the book Overcoming Failure in English by Drs Thursan Hakim, the

characteristics of simple present tense sentences are characterized by frequently

used adverbs of frequency, including the words:

 Once (satu kali)

 Twice (dua kali)
 Everyday (setiap hari)
 Every week (setiap minggu)
 Three times a week (tiga kali seminggu)
 Always (selalu)
 Usually (biasanya)
 Often (seringnya)
 Sometimes (kadang-kadang)
 Never (tidak pernah)
 Rarely (jarang)

3) Simple Present Tense Formula

a) Positive Sentences

Formula: subject + verb-1/ to be (am/is/are)

b) Negative Sentences

Formula: subject + auxiliary (do/does) + not + bare infinitive or subject + be

(am/is/are) + not

c) Interrogative Sentences

Formula: tobe (am/is/are) + subject? or do/does + subject + bare infinitive?

 Please remember, in positive sentences normally the auxiliary verb (do/does) is

not used. But only used if necessary (to emphasize the necessity of carrying out

an action).
