Class 8th
Requests and provides information about experiences and plans in a clear and brief manner.
Explains in written for different familiar situations and facts in a coherent and simple manner.
When we speak of the various verb tenses, we must talk about both how to form the tense, as well as when we use it.
Therefore, in this lesson, as with all the other verb tense lessons, we will look at both structure and use.
Grammatical Rules
Form
When conjugating the verb in the present simple, we use the infinitive with the following subjects: “I”, “you”,
“we”, and “they”. For the third person (“he”, “she” and “it”), we add an “-s” to the end of the verb.
SUBJECT CONJUGATION
I, you, we, they talk, eat, learn, do, go…
he, she, it talks, eats, learns, does, goes…
Note: There are spelling exceptions in the third person, depending on the last letter(s) of the verb. The rules are the
same as those for forming the plural.
Structure
1. Affirmative Sentences
Subject + verb.
Examples:
I talk.
He eats.
They learn.
2. Negative Sentences
Examples:
3. Interrogative sentences.
Examples:
Do you talk?
Does he eat?
Do they learn?

be”, the adverb is found after the verb.
Examples:
Adverbial expressions:
Once …
Twice …
Three time (thrice)…
