SIMPLE PRESENT TENSE The simple present tense is used to describe habits, routines, preferences, emotions, facts or unchanging situations. As for example: I like to listen music. My friends live in Don Bosco. You have a good phone. In the case of negative statements, you need to add “do not” or the contraction “don’t”. As for example: I don’t drink coffee. They don’t come by bus. We don’t go to discotheques. However, the verb must be added an “s” when the subject is in singular or with the pronouns he, she or it. As for example: My best friend walks to school every day. She always wears jeans. Castalia talks in the morning in channel 2. For negative statements, you just add “does not” or the contraction “doesn’t”. As for example: He doesn’t feel sick today. The boy doesn’t cry in front of people. My mom doesn’t go shopping at night. On the other hand, when the main verb of the idea is “be”, it is used as follows: I am You are He is She is It is We are They are As for example: I am in the English class now. She is one of my best friends. Gerardo is in the cafeteria. They are very intelligent. For negative statements, you just add “not” after the verb or use the contraction. Contraction - I’m not. I am not You are not You aren’t He is not He isn’t She is not She isn’t It is not It isn’t We are not We aren’t They are not They aren’t As for example: It is not my problem. The class is not boring.
