THE SIMPLE PRESENT

The simple present tense is one of the most common tenses in English. This page will explain the rules for forming the tense with regular verbs.

1. Forming the simple present tense

There are only two basic forms for the simple present tense; one ends with -s and the other doesn't. Here are the rules, using the example verb "sing":
SubjectVerb FormExample
Isimple formI sing
Yousimple formYou sing
Hesimple form + SHe sings
Shesimple form + SShe sings
Itsimple form + SIt sings
Wesimple formWe sing
Theysimple formThey sing

2. -s or -es ?

With most verbs, the third person singular form is created simply by adding -S. However, with some verbs, you need to add -ES or change the ending a little. Here are the rules:
