hi today we are going to learn how to
use simple present tense in sciences
but before we continue it is important
to understand that simple present tense
is an action that is happening right now
or when it happens regularly
it is formed by using the base form or
by adding s
or e s to the n now let us find out
how and what are the different ways in
using simple
present tense in sentences
now the first one is how do you simple
present tense for singular subjects
most verbs form their simple present
tense by adding
s to their base forms
let's have these examples martha wants
to be a dentist
martha is a singular subject that's why
we added
s to the verb same thing with our next
example
daddy drives to work every day daddy is
a singular subject
that's why we also added s to the verb
the second way of forming simple present
tense for singular subjects
is for verbs ending in ss
sh ch x and o
the simple present tense is formed by
adding e s
examples she brushes her teeth three
times a day
she is a singular subject we
added e s to the word brush because
it ends in sh
example is the baker mixes the
ingredients
in a bowl baker is a singular subject
and the verb use is mixes we added es to
the verb
because it ends in x
another way of forming simple present
tense for singular subjects
is for verbs ending in y preceded by
vowels
the simple present tense is formed by
adding s
here are some examples christine buys
vitamins for her family
christine is a singular subject
the verb use ends in y and it is
preceded by the vowel letter u
that's why we added s to the verb
my sister enjoys her three-week vacation
my sister is a singular subject and we
added
s to the word and choice because
it ends in y and preceded by a vowel
letter
o another way for verbs ending in y
preceded by consonants the simple
present tense is formed by changing
y to i then add es
let us analyze these examples my father
dries
his harvested crops father is a singular
subject
the verb used is dries we change
y to i because it is preceded by a
consonant letter
and then we added e s to the verb
same way with our next example anthony
copies the lesson
anthony is our singular subject and then
the verb use is
copies we change y to i because it is
preceded
by a consonant letter p that's why we
added
es to the verb
now at this time let us see how do we
form simple present tense for plural
subjects
plural subjects take the simple or the
base form
of the verb when expressing the present
tense
here are some examples first we follow
the instructions of our leader
second they plan for grandfather's
birthday celebration
third the students sing a song for their
teacher
and last anna and anton review for their
exams
take note that the plural subjects that
we used such as
we they students anna and anton
use only the simple form or the base
form
of the verb such as follow plan
sing and review
now what about if the subject is pronoun
i
or you though singular in nature
the pronoun i when used in a sentence
uses
m or b verb and takes the simple or the
base form of the verb
when expressing the present tense
look at these examples i love my new
pets
i run four miles every morning
i eat dried mango
and for the pronoun you whether singular
or pluto
it only stays simple or the base form of
the verb
when expressing the present tense
here are some examples you drink your
milk
you go to the beach every summer you
run to the party
and finally for our verbs to be or be
verbs
except for the pronoun i which uses m
the simple present tense of the b verb
used in
he she it and other singular subjects
is is while you
we they and other plural subjects
we use are
examples are i am a dentist
you are our sponsor for this activity
arlene is a helpful classmate
carlo and carla are good dancers
they are the most important assets of
this company
so once again when we say simple present
tense
it is when we use a verb to tell about
things that happen continually in the
present
like every day every week or every month
we use a simple present tense for
anything that happens
often or is factual
now let's have a practice
you're going to write the correct form
of the verb in each
sentence number one
they blank english fluently
number two we blank milk every morning
number three the sun blank at the east
number four my brother blank out with
trash
number five he blank in imu city
[Music]
number six you blank your book quietly
number seven she blanks so fast
number eight marisa blank my best friend
number nine they blank my cousins
and last number 10 i blank a new student
here
now let's check your work
do
and that ends our discussion for this
