CONVERSATION
 ALANA: Hi, Margo. I’m free for a while before my next
class. Are you?
 MARGO: Yeah, I am.
 ALANA: Let’s get a cup of coffee.
 MARGO: Great. Get a table, and I’ll get the coffee. What do
you take in your coffee?
 ALANA: Cream and sugar. Get a cookie too, please.
(Alana sits at a table, and Margo returns with the coffee.)
 MARGO: So, how do you like your classes this semester?
 ALANA: I like them all, except for math. I don’t like the
instructor at all!
 MARGO: Why not?
 ALANA: Well, he talks too quickly, he rarely explains things
clearly, and he isn’t very patient. Also he never takes
breaks!
WHAT IS SIMPLE
PRESENT TENSE?
 The simple present tense in
English is used to describe an
action that is regular, true or
normal.
STRUCTURE
In general, in the third person we add 'S'.
Subject Verb
The Rest of the
sentence
I / you / we / they speak / learn English at home
he / she / it speaks / learns English at home
 The spelling for the verb in the
third person differs depending on
the ending of that verb:
1. For verbs that end in -O, -CH, -
SH, -SS, -X, or -Z we add -
ES in the third person.
 go – goes
 catch – catches

2. For verbs that end in a consonant + Y,
we remove the Y and add -IES.

NOTE: For verbs that end in a vowel + Y,
we just add -S.
