Rules and Points to Remember When Using
the Simple Present Tense
In order to use the simple present tense accurately and effectively, there are some
rules and points you have to keep in mind. This is because of the fact that the
sentence or the context would not make sense if the verb does not agree with the
subject in the sentence.

The first thing that you should understand about the simple present tense is that the
verb mostly appears in the base form.
This changes when a third person pronoun or subject is used in a sentence. In this
case, the verb used should be made plural.
