For most verbs, you use the base form of the verb with <span data-no-translation>I, You, We,<\/span> and <span data-no-translation>They<\/span>. For <span data-no-translation>He, She,<\/span> and <span data-no-translation>It<\/span>, you add <span data-no-translation>-s<\/span> or <span data-no-translation>-es<\/span> to the end of the verb. For example, <span data-no-translation>I work<\/span>, but <span data-no-translation>He works<\/span>. This simple rule helps you describe what people do every day, what is true, and what happens regularly. You will use it often to share information about your life and the world.<\/div>\n<h2>When do we use the Present Simple Affirmative?<\/h2>\n<p>We use the Present Simple Affirmative to talk about things that are true all the time or happen regularly.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Daily routines and habits:<\/strong> Things you do every day or often. <span data-no-translation>I get up at seven o&#8217;clock.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><strong>Facts and general truths:<\/strong> Things that are always true. <span data-no-translation>The sun rises in the east.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><strong>Schedules and timetables:<\/strong> Fixed events. <span data-no-translation>The train leaves at 9 AM.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<div class=\"lc-cta lc-cta-blended\" style=\"border-radius:14px;padding:30px;margin:30px 0;text-align:center;color:#fff;background:linear-gradient(135deg,#0E63C4,#0A2540);\"><h3 style=\"color:#fff;font-size:22px;font-weight:800;margin:0 0 8px;\">&#127891; Learn English with the Blended method<\/h3><p style=\"margin:0 0 10px;opacity:.95;\">Small groups &middot; 24\/7 AI Tutor &middot; Cambridge preparation<\/p><p style=\"margin:0 0 16px;font-size:18px;\">Plans from <strong><span class=\"woocommerce-Price-amount amount\"><bdi><span class=\"woocommerce-Price-currencySymbol\" translate=\"no\" dir=\"auto\">$<\/span>39<\/bdi><\/span><\/strong> <s style=\"opacity:.6;\"><span class=\"woocommerce-Price-amount amount\"><bdi><span class=\"woocommerce-Price-currencySymbol\" translate=\"no\" dir=\"auto\">$<\/span>79<\/bdi><\/span><\/s> per month<\/p><a href=\"\/\" style=\"display:inline-block;margin-top:8px;padding:13px 30px;border-radius:8px;font-weight:700;text-decoration:none;background:#fff;color:#0E63C4;\">Reserve your class<\/a><\/div>\n<h2>How do we form the Present Simple Affirmative?<\/h2>\n<p>The form of the verb changes for <span data-no-translation>He, She,<\/span> and <span data-no-translation>It<\/span>.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>For <span data-no-translation>I, You, We, They<\/span>, we use the base form of the verb. <span data-no-translation>I watch TV.<\/span><\/li>\n<li>For <span data-no-translation>He, She, It<\/span>, we add <span data-no-translation>-s<\/span> or <span data-no-translation>-es<\/span> to the base form of the verb. <span data-no-translation>She watches TV.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Here are some rules for adding <span data-no-translation>-s<\/span> or <span data-no-translation>-es<\/span>:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Most verbs:<\/strong> Add <span data-no-translation>-s<\/span>. <span data-no-translation>work \u2192 works<\/span>, <span data-no-translation>eat \u2192 eats<\/span><\/li>\n<li><strong>Verbs ending in <span data-no-translation>-s, -ss, -sh, -ch, -x, -o<\/span>:<\/strong> Add <span data-no-translation>-es<\/span>. <span data-no-translation>watch \u2192 watches<\/span>, <span data-no-translation>go \u2192 goes<\/span><\/li>\n<li><strong>Verbs ending in a consonant + <span data-no-translation>-y<\/span>:<\/strong> Change <span data-no-translation>-y<\/span> to <span data-no-translation>-ies<\/span>. <span data-no-translation>study \u2192 studies<\/span> (but <span data-no-translation>play \u2192 plays<\/span> because it's a vowel + <span data-no-translation>-y<\/span>)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Special verb: 'have'<\/h2>\n<p>The verb <span data-no-translation>have<\/span> is special in the Present Simple Affirmative.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>For <span data-no-translation>I, You, We, They<\/span>, we use <span data-no-translation>have<\/span>. <span data-no-translation>I have breakfast.<\/span><\/li>\n<li>For <span data-no-translation>He, She, It<\/span>, we use <span data-no-translation>has<\/span>. <span data-no-translation>He has breakfast.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>We often use <span data-no-translation>have<\/span> to talk about meals, like <span data-no-translation>have breakfast<\/span>, <span data-no-translation>have lunch<\/span>, or <span data-no-translation>have dinner<\/span>.
