    PRESENT SIMPLE AFFIRMATIVE
    1. To form the Present Simple we add –s to the infinitive of the verb in the 3rd person singular (he, she, it)   2. But when the verb ends in: a) –o, -ss, -sh, -ch, we add –es   b) a consonant followed by –y, the –y changes into –ie and we add -s   c) a vowel followed by –y we just add -s

Slide 5

    PRESENT SIMPLE NEGATIVE
    To form the negative, use the auxiliary don’t (for I, you, we, they) and doesn’t (for he, she, it). Then follow the auxiliary with the infinitive form of the verb. For example: I don’t live here You don’t live here She doesn’t live here We don’t live here They don’t live here

Slide 6

    PRESENT SIMPLE QUESTION
    To form the question, use do / does as the auxiliary. Use do for I, you, we, they; and does for he, she, it. Here is the word order for questions in the present simple: Question word (optional) – auxiliary – subject – verb Where do you live? What does he do? What does this computer program do? Why do they argue all the time? Do you like tennis? (There is no question word “why”, “what”,  “where” in this question, so the question starts with the auxiliary “do”.)
