##################s

Present Simple – how to………….

We use the present simple for things that happen every day, often, or generally.

1. I / You / We / They

Use the simple form of the verb.

• I live in Asia.
• You walk to school.
• We study English.
• They work in a hotel.

Be careful: Do not add -s.

❌ I lives in Asia.
✅ I live in Asia.

❌ They works in a hotel.
✅ They work in a hotel.

---

2. He / She / It

Add -s to the verb.

• He lives in Asia.
• She walks to school.
• It looks nice.

❌ She walk to school.
✅ She walks to school.

---

3. Some verbs need -es

Add -es after verbs ending in -s, -sh, -ch, -x or -o.

• wash → washes
• watch → watches
• go → goes
• fix → fixes

Examples:

• She goes to university.
• He watches TV.
• She washes her hands.

---

4. Verbs ending in -y

If a verb ends in consonant + y, change y to i and add -es.

• study → studies
• She studies English.

But:

• play → plays
• She plays tennis.

---

The verb BE

BE is different from normal verbs.

We use am, are, or is.

Positive form

Subject	BE
I	am
You	are
He	is
She	is
It	is
We	are
You	are
They	are

Examples:

• I am a student.
• You are happy.
• He is tired.
• She is from Asia.
• It is hot.
• We are students.
• You are busy.
• They are happy.

---

Important: BE and normal verbs are different

Normal verbs

With I / You / We / They:

• I live here.
• You work here.
• We study English.
• They play football.

With He / She / It:

• He lives here.
• She works here.
• It looks good.

BE

• I am a student.
• You are a student.
• He is a student.
• She is a student.
• It is good.
• We are students.
• You are students.
• They are students.

Easy rule

Normal verb:

I / You / We / They → verb

I work.
You work.
We work.
They work.

He / She / It → verb + s

He works.
She works.
It works.

BE:

I → am
You → are
He → is
She → is
It → is
We → are
You → are
They → are

Remember how babies
learn a language:

Babies learn a language by listening.
They use their ears to hear sounds.
Their brain remembers these sounds.
Babies connect sounds with people and things.
They listen to their parents.
Then they copy the sounds they hear. They imitate words.
Slowly, babies learn to speak.

So,
LISTEN, LISTEN, LISTEN, LISTEN………………
