Takeaways

• 😀 The Simple Present Tense is used to describe events that occur regularly, facts, emotions, or general truths.
• 😀 Simple Present Tense is not used for actions happening at the current moment, as that would require other tenses.
• 😀 The structure of a simple present tense sentence can be either nominal (without verbs) or verbal (with verbs).
• 😀 Verbal sentences in the Simple Present Tense follow the formula: Subject + Verb + Object/Adverb.
• 😀 For positive (affirmative) sentences, verbs are used in their base form, with added 's' or 'es' for third-person singular subjects (he, she, it).
• 😀 In negative sentences, 'do/does + not' is used to negate the sentence, and the verb stays in its base form.
• 😀 When the subject is singular (he, she, it), verbs add 's' or 'es', except when the verb ends in 'y' preceded by a consonant (then it adds 'ies').
• 😀 Negative sentences in the Simple Present Tense follow the formula: Subject + Do/Does + Not + Verb.
• 😀 Interrogative (question) sentences in the Simple Present Tense begin with 'Do' or 'Does' followed by the subject and verb.
• 😀 Nominal sentences do not use verbs but rely on 'to be' as an auxiliary verb to form positive and negative sentences.
• 😀 The auxiliary verb 'to be' changes based on the subject: 'am', 'is', 'are' for positive sentences, and 'is/are + not' for negative ones.
