Fascinating Fact:

In the present simple, “he”, “she” and “it” usually add -s or -es, like “she plays” and “he watches.”

In ESL Easy, the present simple helps you talk about daily life, habits, and things that are generally true. This topic focuses on subject-verb agreement, so the verb matches who is doing the action.

Key Terms

  • Present simple: A tense used for routines, habits, and facts, for example “I walk to school” or “Water boils at 100°C”.
  • Subject: The person or thing doing the action, for example “she” in “She watches TV”.
  • Verb ending: A change added to a verb, such as -s or -es in “plays” and “watches”.

Frequently Asked Questions (Click to see answers)

When do you use the present simple in English?

You use the present simple for routines, habits, and facts. For example, “I study on Mondays” and “The sun rises in the east” are present simple sentences.

Why do we add -s to verbs with he, she, and it?

In the present simple, he, she, and it usually take a verb with -s or -es to show the subject clearly, like “He plays” or “She watches”. This is called subject-verb agreement.

How do I make a negative present simple sentence?

Use do not or does not plus the base verb. For example, “I do not like coffee” and “She does not play tennis”. The main verb stays in its base form.
