Lesson 2 of 5
In Progress

Present Simple – Forms – Affirmative

— Present simple – structure:

  •        I/you/we/they: read, write, see

  •        He/she/it: we add –s

— Spelling rules:

  • If a verb ends in s/ss/sh/ch/x (fricatives) we add –es.

I watch --> He/she/it watches
  • -If a verb ends in a consonant +y,  then-y changes to –ie before the ending –s (y>ies).
I fly --> He/she/it flies
  • If a verb ends in a vowel, then –y doesn’t change:

I play --> He/she/it plays
I buy --> He/she/it buys

— Watch out for exceptions!

I do --> He/she/it does
I go--> He/she/it goes
I have--> He/she/it has
