Temas: Present simple tense Question words

Expression words: like-love-hate.

Present simple

El presente simple se utiliza para poder hablar de acciones que ocurren todos los dias (cotidianeidad).

Ej: I go to school every day .

En este tense, el verbo debe ir en infinitivo, sin embargo para los pronombres he she it, todos los verbos deben conjugarse (solo en modo afirmativo) .

Si el verbo termina en "y" cuando antes de ésta se sitúa una consonante se cambia ésta por una "i" y se le agrega la desinencia "es" en la tercera persona del singular.

 to carry'llevar a'

to study to copy

I carry study copyYou carry study copyHe/She/It carries studies copiesWe carry study copyThey carry study copy

Ejemplos

He flies an airplane.

She studies for the test of tomorrow.

En cambio, si el verbo termina en O, CH, SH, X, SS o Z no se cambian estas terminaciones y se le agrega la terminación -es en la tercera persona del singular.

  to wash to watch fixI wash watch fixYou wash watch fixHe/She/It washes watches fixesWe wash watch fixThey wash watch fix

Ejemplos:

- She goes to the theater.

- He watches T.V.

Y por ultimo para el resto de los verbos se debe agregar una "s" al final de la tercera persona del singular. Al resto de las personas, no se le agrega nada.

to eat'comer'

to talk'hablar'

to play'jugar'

to drink'beber'

I eat talk play drinkYou eat talk play drinkHe/She/It eats talks plays drinksWe eat talk play drinkThey eat talk play drink

Ejemplos:

You work in a company 'Tú trabajas en una empresa'He drinks a lot of water 'Él toma mucha agua'

En el caso de las formas Negativas de este tense, no es necesario hacerle modificacion alguna al verbo, debido a que el AUX (auxiliar) deja en claro en que tense, estamos hablando, por lo que tener un AUX y un verbo conjugado, seria redundante.

EJ: I don't eat vegetables She doesn't work at weekends

En el caso de las preguntas lo que hay que hacer es utilizar los AUX en su forma infinitiva ( do, does) y ubicarlos al principio de la oracion .

Ej de la transicion:

I don't eat vegetables > I do eat vegetables > Do I eat vegetables? ( y se le añade el

question mark(

She doesn’t work at weekends > She does work at weekends > Does she work at weekends?
