Present simple
The simple present is a verbal time with two main uses. We use simple present
time when an action is happening right now, or when it happens regularly.
Grammatical Rules
Affirmative
In affirmative sentences the same form of the verb is maintained with all
pronouns, except for he, she and it, a -s or -es is added to it depending on its
completion.

Subject + verb + (complement)

Example:
 I play basketball.
 You know English.
 We work in a warehouse.
 They eat in a restaurant.
Negative
In negative sentences we add the auxiliary verb do followed by the not
particle between the subject and the main verb,although for he, she and
it will use the form does followed by the not particle.

Subject + don't/doesn't + verb + (complement)

Example:
 I don't play tennis.
 You don't study at school.
 We don't listen to music.
 They don't do video conferences.
Interrogative
In interrogative sentences the auxiliary verb do or does is placed at the
beginning of the sentence followed by the subject, the main verb and in
some cases a complement is added.

Do/does + subject + verb + (complement)?


Like verbs to be and have got, interrogative sentences in simple present also
have their own short answers.
example:
 Do you have any money?
=Yes, I do
 Do you have a car?
=Yes, I do

 Does she live here?


=Yes, she does
 Do you like driving?
=Yes, I do

Presente simple
El presente simple es un tiempo verbal con dos usos principales. Usamos el
tiempo presente simple cuando una acción está sucediendo en este momento,
o cuando ocurre con regularidad.
Reglas Gramaticales
Afirmativa
En las oraciones afirmativas se mantiene la misma forma del verbo con todos
los pronombres, a excepción de he, she e it, se le añade una -s o -
es dependiendo de su terminación.

Sujeto + verbo + (complemento)

Ejemplo:
 Yo juego baloncesto.
 Usted sabe Ingles.
 Nosotros trabajamos en un almacén.
 Ellos comen en un restaurante.
Negativa
En las oraciones negativas añadimos el verbo auxiliar do seguido de la
partícula not entre el sujeto y el verbo principal, aunque para he, she e it se
utilizará la forma does seguido de la partícula not.

Sujeto + don't/doesn't + verbo + (complemento)

Ejemplo:
 Yo no juego tenis.
 Tu no estudias en la escuela.
 Nosotros no escuchamos música.
 Ellos no hacen videoconferencias.
Interrogativa
En las oraciones interrogativas el verbo auxiliar do o does se coloca
al inicio de la oración seguido del sujeto, del verbo principal y en algunos
casos se añade un complemento.

Do/does + sujeto + verbo + (complemento)?


Al igual que los verbos to be y have got, las oraciones interrogativas
en present simple también cuentan con sus propias respuestas cortas.

 ¿Tienes algo de dinero?
=Sí
