SIMPLE PRESENT


THE " SIMPLE PRESENT " I KNOW IT USES:


Conjugation of the simple present simple present The construction of the simple present (Present Simple) in English is really easy, has the structure:

(I) [HOLD] + [VERB] (in infinitive without to) 

To bearing in mind:

If the subject is 3 ª person of the singular one adds a "-s" to the verb.
Let's see as example the conjugation of the verb " to live "  in simple present: 


ConjugaciónSignificado
I liveyo vivo
you livetú vives
he / she / it livesél / ella / ello vive
we livenosotros vivimos
you livevosotros vivís
they liveellos/ellas viven

  • Special case: " - it is " for 3 ª it presents
For the verbs ended in " - or ", "-sh", "-ch", "-ss", "-x", "-z", " - and " it is added " - is " instead of "-s for 3 ª person of the singular one ".

Let's see later some examples:
