What is it?
It is one of the present tenses, which is generally used to refer to everyday actions. Use the present simple to talk about habits and routines, as well as to talk about general facts. Construct simple sentences and formulate answers to questions. Interact in a meaningful way and with some autonomy and efficiency to express and request information in English.
The present simple is used to talk about things that happen regularly. ... The present simple is usually used with adverbs of time: always (always), every day (every day), usually (normally), often (often), sometimes (sometimes), rarely (rarely), hardly ever (almost never), never (never) ...
structures
The verb To be in the present simple does not need an auxiliary to deny or to form the question.
When accompanied with a subject there is a specific way to conjugate:
-am
-is
-are
Example: I am, he is, she is, it is, you are, we are, they are
In interrogative form the order of the sentence changes:
am I, is he, is she, is it, are you, are we, are they.
In an interrogative way, the verb to be is added not: i am not, she not, he not ...
AUXILIARIES
The auxiliaries of the present simple are Do and Does. These are used when the sentence does not contain the verb To Be. In the present simple, the auxiliaries Do and Does are also used when we formulate negative and interrogative sentences, as long as they do not have the verb to be.
The auxiliary Do and the auxiliary Does are in fact the same, the difference is that Do is used when we refer to I, you, we and they and Does is used when we refer to she, he or it.
Gramatical rules
One of the grammatical rules that are fundamental to use the simple present correctly has to do with pronouns, that is, “the kinds of words that are used to refer to people, animals or things without naming themIt can be divided into two groups of pronouns: 1. I, you, we, they 2. He, she, it (it, for things or animals) In the first group are the first person pronouns that are used to talk about oneself or about other people. While the pronouns of the second group refer to the third person, but in the singular. • If the verb ends in s, ch or x it must be added (s) at the end of the verb to avoid the clash of consonants. Example: Washes • If the verb ends in “y”, this is eliminated and “ies” is added at the end of the verb. Example: studies However, within this rule there are some verbs that end in "Y" but only the "s" is added at the end, such is the case of: Plays • To finish with the rules, there are verbs that completely change their writing when conjugated with the third person singular Example: Have ------- Has
