Present Simple
subject | + | auxiliary verb | + | main verb |
(do or does) |
There are three important exceptions:
- For positive sentences, we do not normally use the auxiliary.
- For the 3rd person singular (he, she, it), we add s, es to the main verb or es to the auxiliary.
- For the verb to be, we do not use an auxiliary, even for questions and negatives.
Look at these examples with the main verb like:
subject | auxiliary verb | main verb | |||
+ | I, you, we, they | like | coffee. | ||
He, she, it | likes | coffee. | |||
- | I, you, we, they | do | not | like | coffee. |
He, she, it | does | not | like | coffee. | |
? | Do | I, you, we, they | like | coffee? | |
Does | he, she, it | like | coffee? |
Look at these examples with the main verb be. Notice that there is no auxiliary:
subject | main verb | |||
+ | I | am | French. | |
You, we, they | are | French. | ||
He, she, it | is | French. | ||
- | I | am | not | old. |
You, we, they | are | not | old. | |
He, she, it | is | not | old. | |
? | Am | I | late? | |
Are | you, we, they | late? | ||
Is | he, she, it | late? |
