RESOLUSI SIMPLE PRESENT TENSE

Simple present tense is a verb form associated with the present tense in modern English.
It is commonly referred to as a tense, although it also encodes certain information about aspect in
addition to the present time. The simple present is the most commonly used verb form in
English, accounting for more than half of verbs in spoken English. It is used to refer to an action
or event that takes place habitually, to remark habits, facts and general realities, repeated actions
or unchanging situations, emotions, and wishes. Such uses are often accompanied by frequency
adverbs and adverbial phrases such as always, sometimes, often, usually, from time to time,
rarely, and never. The formula for making a simple present verb negative is do/does + not + [root
form of verb]. The third-person singular takes an -s at the end. The simple present tense is simple
to form. Just use the base form of the verb: (l take, you take, we take, they take). The simple
present tense is not used to express actions happening now.1
