Simple Present Tense

SIMPLE PRESENT TENSE

The present simple is used to talk about things that usually happen  Also, it is important to take some grammatical rules, such as: To conjugate the present simple we use the infinitive for the subjects "I", "you", "we" and "they" and for the third persons "he", "she" and "it", we add a "-s" to the end of the verb.

2.- NEGATIVE SENTENCES                                                            Subject + auxiliary verb (to do) + negative auxiliary ("not") + verb.     To use the simple present in negative with any verb that is different from the one to be, we use the auxiliary do not or does not, normally contracted: Do not is the contraction of do and not. Does not is the contraction of does and not, which is used with he, she and it. The auxiliary verbs do not and does not place between the subject and the main verb.       Note: In negative phrases, the auxiliary verb ("to do") changes and the main verb goes in the infinitive.  

SIMPLE PRESENT TENSE

TAKE INTO ACCOUNT: 1. The present simple is used to talk about things that happen habitually. Unlike with Spanish, the simple present is not used to talk about something that is happening at the moment we speak. 2.- The adverbs of time go before the verb, except the verb "to be". When using "to be" the verb goes before the adverb. 3.- It is used to talk about generalities or scientific facts.
