Present Simple Part 2

The tables below show you how to create a sentence in the PS. As I mentioned above it's rather simple: you just have to know the base form of the verb (for example, go) and the performer of the action.

We need to know that because it allows us to conjugate correctly.

• I eat
• you eat
• he eats
• she eats
• it eats
• we eat
• you eat
• they eat

As you can see, only verbs used with the 3rd person singular conjugate differently. They will usually get -s but there are some exceptions:

So what about questions and negative sentences?

There are even easier to understand because the base verb stays the same. However, as always inversion takes place in interrogative sentences (questions). If you scroll down this page a bit, you'll find some examples.

In negative sentences we add "not" to the auxiliary verb (does, do), in this way getting contracted forms like doesn't or don't. Again, there are some nice examples below.
