Use the word did in a sentence - Word и Excel - помощь в работе с программами

DO – DOES – DID – DONE

The word DO appears a lot in English.

This is because it can be a verb, as in the verb TO DO which can be conjugated as Do and Does in the present tense, Did in the past tense and Done as a past participle.

DO can also be an AUXILIARY verb in the form of Do / Does to make questions in the present tense and Did to make questions in the past tense.

Let’s look at each one in more detail. We will start with the verb TO DO.

As we have seen, the verb TO DO has four forms: Do / Does / Did and Done
Lets look at its form in the simple present tense.

TO DO – Present Tense

With the verb TO DO in the Present Tense…
We say: I do / you do / we do / they do
But we say: he does / she does / it does

Let’s look at some example sentences:

I do my laundry on Saturdays.

(Do my laundry means I wash my clothes, well, I put in the washing machine)

They do their chores when they arrive home.

(Chores is the housework you need to do like washing the dishes, doing the vacuuming, etc.)

He does nothing all day. (That’s right… he is quite lazy, he does absolutely nothing.)
She does charity work when she has time. (People that do charity work are superheroes)

TO DO – Past Tense

The simple past tense of DO is DID for all subjects:
I did / you did / we did / they did / he did / she did / it did
Notice how there is only one form of the verb in the past tense…. DID.

He did a magic trick. (Yes, and everyone was amazed… wooow!)
The baby did a fart. (Yes, and the smell made everyone cry. How can such a cute thing produce something so rotten.)
I did my homework in record time. (Yes, it only took me 5 hours instead of 10)
She did ballet after school last year. (This year she is doing something different)

TO DO – Past Participle

The past participle of DO is DONE. Remember that past participles are accompanied by a conjugation of the verb TO HAVE or TO BE (which means it is in the correct tense according to the subject)

In general Have + past participle is used with a perfect tense and BE + past participle is with the passive voice.
Let’s look at some examples:

I have done my homework.
He has done a good job.

These two sentences are in the present perfect tense because they have have or has before the past participle done.

The video will show you how it is done.
The report was done on time.

Here we used a conjugation of the verb To Be before the past participle done.

TO DO – To replace a verb

We sometimes use the verb DO to replace a verb when the meaning is clear or obvious. This replacement is more common in informal spoken English:

Have you done the dishes yet?

(Here done means washed)

I’ll do the kitchen if you do the lawns

(The first do means clean – The second do means mow)

Sometimes Do, Does, and Did are used as auxiliaries to make questions in English.

Let’s start with DO and DOES:

DO / DOES – For Questions

To make a question in the simple present tense in English we normally put the auxiliary Do or Does at the beginning of the question before the subject.
After the subject is the verb in its base form which means the infinitive without TO at the beginning.
Look at this affirmative sentence:

You speak English.

How can we make this a question? We add DO at the beginning so it becomes:

Do you speak English?

You will see that we add DO at the beginning when the subject is I, you, we or they.

But look at this affirmative sentence:

He speaks Arabic.

To make this a question we say:

Does he speak Arabic?

You can see that we add DOES at the beginning when the subject is he, she or it.

Notice how the letter S at the end of the verb in the affirmative sentence (because it is in third person) disappears in the question. That is because the verb is in the base form of the infinitive.

NOTE: We DON’T use Do or Does in questions that have the verb To Be or Modal Verbs (can, must, might, should etc.)

DID – For Questions

Let’s look at the auxiliary DID.

To make a question in the Simple Past Tense in English we normally put the auxiliary DID at the beginning of the question before the subject.
And just like in the present tense, After the subject is the verb in its base form which means the infinitive with TO at the beginning.
Look at this affirmative sentence:

You lived in Spain.

How can we make this a question? We add DID at the beginning so it becomes:

Did you live in Spain?

We use the verb form Live and NOT lived because the auxiliary DID show that the question is in the past tense.

Did is also used with He, She and It. So with this affirmative sentence:

She lived in Japan.

To make it a question in the past tense we say:

Did she live in Japan?

Again we use DID for questions in the past EXCEPT with To Be and Modal Verbs such as Can.
Compare these questions:

Do you speak English?
Did you speak English?

The only difference between a question in the present tense and the past tense is the first part… DO or DID.
And look at these two questions

Does he speak Italian?
Did he speak Italian?

The only difference between a question in the present tense and the past tense when it refers to third person (he, she, or it) is the first part… DOES or DID.

Auxiliary and Verb together

Look at this question:

Do you do exercises every day?

Why are there two DOs in this question?
The first DO is necessary because we are making a question in the simple present tense.
The second DO is from the verb TO DO. You DO exercises.

What happens if instead of YOU we are asking about another person?

Does she do exercises every day?

We use DOES because it is necessary for simple present tense questions for third person, in this case for SHE. Does she….?
Again DO appears because you DO exercises. It appears as DO and not DOES because the verb needs to be in the base form of the infinitive.

Of course in the past tense you would say:

Did you do exercises yesterday?

Did is an auxiliary which is needed to make a question.
Do is from the verb To Do.

DO and DOES – For Emphasis

Sometimes Do / Does / Did are used in positive sentences to give special emphasis that what you say is true, despite what the other person thinks. Note that when speaking, the word (do/does/did) is stressed.

I do want to go. (We put stress on the word DO to emphasize that we really want to go, even if you think it is not true.)
I did study for the test. (Contrary to what you may believe… yes, I studied)

Notice that Did is used for positive sentences in the past tense and that the main verb is in its base form.

Yes, he does like broccoli. (You may be surprised but yes, he likes broccoli)
You do need tickets for the event. (I am emphasizing that fact that tickets ARE needed despite what you think.)

I wanted to know if we can use did and wanted in the same sentence.For example in the following sentence:

What did he wanted to prove through the experiment?

Is this a correct sentence? It uses did and wanted together.

asked Apr 22, 2017 at 12:33

In English we can only have one tensed verb in a verb phrase. The auxiliary DO is always tensed. It is always either past tense or present tense.

If we use the auxiliary DO, the Complement verb phrase will always use a PLAIN form of the verb. This is the word you see in the dictionary.

She didn’t WANT a chocolate.

Notice in the sentence above that because did is in the past tense, the verb want cannot be past tense. It is in the plain form. Notice also that the verb want is not present tense. The following sentence is ungrammatical:

She didn’t wants a chocolate. (ungrammatical).

For these reasons the Original Poster’s example needs to use the verb want in the plain form:

What did he want to prove through the experiment?

answered Apr 23, 2017 at 9:19

When using a verb to do, you must use the plain form of verb after it. And the verb to do is sufficient to mark the tense.

What did he want to prove through the experiment? (did marks past tense).

But there is an exception for this rule. You can use do/did with a past tense form of verb in a cleft-sentence because the verb to do functions as a lexical verb, not as an auxiliary.

All he did was eat the food.

answered Apr 22, 2017 at 13:09

Declarative sentence in the simple past in English:
He wanted to prove something with his experiment.

Interrogative sentence in English:
Did he want to prove something with his experiment?

Interrogative pronouns follow the interrogative sentence rule:
What did he want to prove etc.
How did he want to prove etc.
Where did he want to prove
When did he want to prove etc.

The word did in the simple past and the words do/does [careful with the s in the third person] are the helping verbs used to make interrogative sentences in English. In the interrogative form, the subject and the verb are inverted.

Do you like tea?
Did you like the tea served at the party?

This is basic English grammar. And that is the proper terminology for explaining it in the simplest way.

Please do not edit this answer. It is structured the way I want it to be structured.

You can simplify your question a lot: «Is ‘he did wanted’ correct?»

And the answer is «no». In English, when you use a modal verb, only the modal verb is inflected; the main verb remains as the bare infinitive.

So «He did want» instead of «He did wanted», and «He does want» instead of «He does wants».

Read this article about modal verbs.

answered Apr 22, 2017 at 12:58

With did, or didn’t, the main verb following it takes the present tense.

What did he wanted to prove through the experiment?

What did he ‘want’ to prove through the experiment?

Another example- «Why didn’t I get the ice cream?»

«Oh, I didn’t know that you didn’t get any.»

Good job! But where is the did and didn’t? it’s not even in the quiz. Tnxs

jmtorillo

thanks but i dont understand the use of these words

Abdi M

i want to know about use of shall and will,, i know that shall use with i,& we
but whenever our teachers use will with i and we why ?

naheed khan

“Shall” has a few different uses.

1) It can mean the same thing as “I will” — “I will tell you tomorrow”/”I shall tell you tomorrow”.

2) It can be used to talk about something that has to be done, or to tell people to do something. “Students shall write their names at the top of the page.”

3) It can be used in questions — to talk about something that could happen, or make a suggestion. “Shall I come back later?” could mean that you are asking someone if you should come back later or not, or that you are suggesting you could come back later if they want.

“Shall” is very common in the UK, but not at all in North America. In North America we would use “will”/”must”/”will” + “maybe”/”could” instead.

Sorry mam your voice is low, but your teaching is good.

Thank you so much.

i am now well awairness to these words. Basic problem is to short vacbluary. can you help me to imporve my vablury and also learing your lession.

Moin Jalal

All your classes are fantastic!

Gerson

are you in 8th standard

Kiiran

Engvid is a great ESL site .in fact you have special technique in teaching and I’d like to ask you to teach me how to think of things with their English name not with my original language and then translate it to English
thank a lot.

sameh nada

Thinking of things in English and not in your original language is not something I can teach you… it is something that must happen in your brain. Once you begin to “switch your brain” over to English, then you can begin to think of words in English. I can only suggest going to an English speaking country, or talking to yourself in English.

Ronnie

You used word absolutely correct and i am really impressed with this.

Thanks for such kind of great artical putting here.

Ganesh Pandar

hi ronnie sent me your email address and id plz contact me

shoaib

Hi teacher ronnie! im just confused, how about “IT”? can we say IT did or IT didn’t?

melody

It + did/didn’t.

Ronnie

Hi, Ronnie! I like your way of teaching!
Because you did not mention how to use the “It” in the present and in the past?

edubarelli

teacher where we use names
with
do or does
i think does

zerwcool

Hi.. could you please help me with the grammer in this.. usually we use does with he.we could say he doesn’t calle me..but in spoken English we could also say he didn’t call me..so which is correct?

Merin Paul

I want to learn the usage of DO , does and didn’t with IT , That and any particular object.

hi Ronnie

asha amin

hello ronnie,
I love your lectures. I watched your lectures have,has,had and this one.I got a doubt,
‘I do have’ and ‘I have’ is these both same or different or wrong.

iamsrinath

i don’t want love again, because my heart is broken

HassanMohamed@mail.ru

Ronnie is completely right when she says that must happen in your brain. It’s easy, and everything you have to do is to collect very large fund of words, adjectives, verbs, nouns, adverbs, preposition etc., in order to use adequate word to describe something that is instantly in your mind. I did it :))))))

I want to ask you for sure, Is that sentence correct ‘I haven’t seen him in ages’. I’m not sure about the preposition in. I have been studying that i haven’t seen him for ages but not in ages. Can you do me a favor, just tell me that it’s quite possible to use it ‘In ages’. I’m looking forward to hear from you in near the future.

Yon Sovannsetha

Yes, you can say both!!! I haven’t seen him in ages or for ages!!!

Ronnie

Please the next time be more professional and give us more correctly grammar.
Thank you.

Dainius

More correctly grammar? you mean to say please use better grammar? or Please use correct grammar.
It’s not polite to try and find fault, Especially when your unable to use correct grammar also.
The lesson was very good for those who may not have a good understanding of Do, Don’t, Did, Didn’t.

i have a doubt why we cannot use does has or doesn’t has instead of does have or doesn’t have?for she or he we have to use “has” right but above case why we dont?

kele

We must say “She/He doesn’t have” because the auxiliary verb “do” is the only verb you need to change to suit the subject.

Ronnie

hi teacher,, i’d like to ask you question about the question above that you but it. what do you mean by hear? becouse i answerd thise question in awronge way because idont know whats the mean of hear,,, thanks again for you ihop ican speak english very easy by helping of you

Will you please tackle about Other Pronoun forms?
1. Between you and (I,me),” said Tonya, “we will probably be assigned to the McMeekin account.” The answer is “me”. Why? What is the rule about this?

2. Have you asked Joseph and (she, her) if they plan to attend the seminar?

3. It was not (I, me) who ordered this manual.

4.Please explain my absence to Arthur and (she, her).

5. I do not know (who, whom)our manager selected to replace Pierre.

6. Mr. Parmar is the only broker (who, whom) we called for an appraisal.

Please explain these in a much easier to understand lesson.

Thanks,
Joshua

Joshua

Ah… you are confused because the usage of “whom” and “I” are old school grammar book rules! Whereas “who” and “me” we use nowadays! So, in very OLD FORMAL English, the correct answers are 1.I, 3)I, 5)whom, 6)whom but in spoken English (which ignores a lot of the rules) we would use me, me, who, and who! Hope that helps!

Ronnie

Thanks a lot for these video

Mohsen

Thank you for this lesson.
Q. Why don’t talk about “it” ?!

Moallem

it + does >> like: he & she

It doesn’t work.

Don’t and doesn’t for speaking only, for writing I should write “do not” and “does not” .. that right ??

Moallem

Great wit there Ronnie..lol

keithesaf

Thanks so much

What about ( it ) ?

saleh

hi ronnie
when i spoke to my friends, sometime i get confused because not sure about are you going there or do you go there? please help me with this confusion.

sulo

“Are you going there?” is to ask if you plan to go somewhere in the future. Eg: “Are you going to the gym tomorrow?”
“Do you go there?” is to ask if the person frequents a place. Eg: “Do you go to Starbucks?” “Do you go to the gym?” — They are asking if you go to these places a lot!

Ronnie

we use HE/SHE/IT whith does and doesn’t or not

yaichockocha

please tell the use of would that in which kind of situation we use that….i,m looking forward to hear you in near future is it correct?

aiisha

Hi!!!!

I have a question, the correct phrase is: ‘love don’t cost a thing’, why not doesn’t, like ‘love doesn’t cost a thing’.

Thank you. I look foward for your answer.

indeed it should be love doesn’t cost a thing but grammar is always ignored in songs!

ismail nassar

ismail nassar

Hi, i would really appreciate if you could help me figure the right word to use here. Should i use ‘don’t or ‘doesn’t in this sentence :

“Chris wants to buy a new book but don’t/doesn’t know which to get”

I think the right verb to use is “doesn’t” because the mention of name is the same as using it for he/she (singular 3rd party)

Please correct me if i am wrong. Thanks Ronnie

Chris

You are correct!!!!

Ronnie

tnx.. With your lesson, now i can use those verbs in a right manner.. Thank you very much

pukenginanyonglahat

Can you give me more questios for quiz?

savita

thanxs it is a great website..
i want to learn how does verb changes in present ,past & future using do, dont,does,doesnt,did & didnt

reema

so…
fantastic!!! but i have a question:)) is “your mama don’t know” a right english? or “your mama doesn’t know”

love arashi

“Your mama doesn’t know” is correct!

Ronnie

hi Ronnie,
Its great to have a teacher like you.
Need to know that if we are beginners then from where to start learning English, I mean about a sequence, that what should be the first topic then the second and so on, like a learning chart. Hope if you can make this easier for all of us.

Thanks & Regards
BJ

I think you should learn basic vocabulary and verbs first.
Then simple present tense, past and future tense.

Ronnie

Which Is Correct ? I Didnt spend or i didnt spent ? thanks

Jasper

I didn’t spend is correct. Didn’t is past so you don’t need to change “spend” to past tense!

Ronnie

now i learn something new

najeeb

thank you very much

lith

OoOoOh,, Very great and Basic lecture..

Thank you verrrrrrrrrrrrry much..

yousefgouda

i like a lot and understand easly thanks

salam shaikh

thanks you save my life…

Tamara…

For “does” and “doesn’t” you forgot the pronoun “it.”

Example: ‘It ((the toaster)) doesn’t ususally work. It does sometimes work after I whack it a bit.’
I suggest a
dding the nonpersonal pronoun “it” to this lecture — as well as the use of non-pronoun subjects with “do,” “does,” etc.

Joel Lantz

thanks mam

siva kumar

i like your lesson lovely lesson

gul_zaib

lovely

gul_zaib

thank your very much for this free lesson. your a very good teacher.

what is correct.
1.the house doesn’t/dont have a roof?
2. lot of people don’t/doesn’t have a food on their plate.
3.their wives doesn’t/dont have a money

You have to think if the noun is singular or plural. If it is singular use does/doesn’t. Plural, use do/don’t.
You think about this and email me what YOU think the answers are! Good luck!

Ronnie

I took above three questions as my exercise and find the answers below.

1. the house doesn’t have a roof?
2. lot of people don’t have a food on their plate.
3.their wives dont have a money

Please check and correct me if anything wrong.

saravanan

You need to put a capital letter on every sentence. A food and a money are both wrong. It should be money/food.

Ronnie

Dear Ronnie,
Thanks for your good effort. Your exercise is very interesting. I wish you post many exercise so that it will improve english grammer to every one using your net. Thank you and good work. KEEP IT UP.

Pema sona

Dear Ronnie,
Thank you very much for your good method of teaching. It is well explained and easy to understand. I have a request if you don’t mind please. I want to know the proper usage of “articles”. Your kind consideration is much appreciated.

Also, you forgot “you” when you explained Did/didn’t.

this is great.

vincent

Hi Ronny, i have two questions . first one, What’s diffrence between these sentences.
he likes her & he does like her. second question, i answerd these quiz but there one question missunderstand mean this senetnce”She does not like him bescause he is verey meaning her” it mean he not love him because he care her or she hate him because he nosy ..forget to tell you that’s first time to share here but i intearsting & enjoy by your method .so, i singup here & put in my favourit & will follow your video & new news hope to continue

Mousa

“He likes her” is how we normally say that one person likes another.
“He DOES like her”, is ONLY to emphasize that he indeed does like her!
”She does not like him because he is very meaning her”…. This should say ….””She does not like him because he is very mean to her”.
It means that he is a bad person and not nice to her, so she does not like him!
Thanks for watching and good luck!

Ronnie

yeah,Roonie ..i understand you & thank you alot for your helping. well, i study course english at egypt with forgin Instructores. they follow us & to continue connecation at facebook you will see command mistake when we discusse with them from level one to level 6 .These discusses there help you when you prepare Vido. what are problems with begginer, intermiddiate &advance levels .just write spread your english in google search, you will find first link spread your engilsh at face book after that, plz open discuess tap you will be find student chat there with thier Instructors.really, we have some people teach me from U.S but they are not as like you.Anyway, one day if you will vist egypt ofcourse i’ll hoste you there by free.that’s nice to meet you

Hi Ronnie,
First, I would like to thank you for helping me passing the english profiency test In LA VERNE UNI.-CA, so now I am eligible to join thier graduate programme as my first degree is from overseas.
but behind the teaching point. I was very frustrated that I moved to US 4 years ago, working hard and overcoming all challenges i had,until I become a citizen here.
I was struggling to back to school, I was down and sad, but since i start to watch your video’s and James’s too, I found both of you very positive and energetic. Thanks for helping me achieve my dream.
GOD BLESS BOTH OF YOU .

G.Hook

Ronnie

How about when we get the mistake that we say HE DO? That’s really feel confusion Miss Ronnie!! Y_Y

binh phan

Ronnie

If my subject is IT. Then whether i have to use does or do

saravanan

Ronnie

kanth

thanks mam ronnie for sharing this.

bety/from ethiopia

hi just want to ask if the word is right? you did it? if right so it means that “you” also can connect with did or didn’t? thanks!

sophia

Yes, you are correct!

Ronnie

what about You didn’t? is it right?

jay

what about it??? Liza likes fruits. is it right to say…… Does Liza like fruits? Do Jade and Jim like fruits? Do, does and did could be used for the name of person? thanks

jay

Yes, all of your examples are correct! Great work!

Ronnie

Pls tell me when we need to use Did, Was-were, Had, Have-Has…. I am totally confused on these words… tell me with examples… pls pls pls…..

Please tell me madam… I am waiting for your reply… its a small thing to you, but for me its a big big biiiiiiiig problem……

Arjun, India

Was/were is the past form of “to be” verb. I was here. We were at the park.
Did is the past form of do. We use for actions.,,,, I did my homework. I did the laundry.
Have/has is present, had is past tense. We use to show possession – I have 5 dogs. She has a headache.
I hope that helps!

Ronnie

Please tell me which of the following is correct?

What do jhon and raja do?
What does jhon and raja do?

saravanan

What do jhon and raja do?

Ronnie

why used “do” and not “does”, as we learnt from earlier examples that with names we use “does”

raj

mam very very usefull classes and clear the doubt by reading the answer u giving for the comments

jinal

“This is not suitable for our current requirement”. is this sentence correct? if yes which tense

mswirpm

“This is not suitable for our current requirement” is correct. It is present tense because the verb is “is”.

Ronnie

as per my understanding when we use present continues we have to use am/is/are+v1+ing. but in this sentense i have a confusion “It is not suitable ” i cant use ing here. is this sentence correct ?

mswirpm

“It is not suitable” is correct. You cannot use suitable with ing.

Ronnie

Dear Ronnie,
Thank you very much for your good method of teaching. teacher i want to know that what is difference between “believe and belief”??
thanks..

Muhammad Kashif.

majorkashif74

Believe is a verb… “I believe (think) I can fly.”
Belief is a noun… “I have a belief (idea) that I can fly.”

On the explanation of the Do and Does. I did not see the it form which also belongs to the 3rd person singular group (He and She), but the rest was very useful. Thank you.

emz

I didn’t see. Didn’t is past tense so you don’t need to change the second verb.

Ronnie

Hello Ronnie! I’m liking so much of your lessons! In this moment I’m studying alone, so this site is very useful. Thank you!

kuki05

Kavitha

Ronnie

do you mean to say …to use or not to use “did” with “you”?

You are a superb teacher! thank you.

Kavitha

rakuniit

Hi,
thanks Ronnie for this great lesson.it’s very helpful

mohamed121

Maam Ronnie your awesome, ms Ronnie my question is this, why the baby did not know how to write and how to read, why she could speak very well… I think the best to do is, if you want to know how to speak english fluently regardless of education i would suggests you can always hear the conversation in english language. reading and writing did not really2x essential I think hearing is best method if you to know how to speak English fluently. What do you think ms Ronnie? correct me if I’m wrong… thank and god bless…..

Reynaldo Q Paquingan

I think it depends on how you learn – some people can just learn by listening, others need to see the words, others need a more physical learning environment. Everyone is different. When I learned Japanese I had to write down the words to remember how to say them….but I didn’t learn the grammar!

Ronnie

how to use would?

srinivas8998

I want to know, why does the word she is used with have ? :S She is the third person and have is used in only negative sentences. :/
If you can help me out of this thing. I’ll be quite pleasured.

Aisha

In the example “Does she have”, we have to change only the aux. verb do to reflect the noun…..We don’t have to change any other verb….We don’t say “Does she has”…..
I don’t know WHY – I have no idea why we have ALL they grammar rules that we do – they don’t make sense to me!!

Ronnie

tank you so much Ms Ronnie

Taban

Dear Ms. Ronnie

“he has done his homework” is this sentence correct?
1.”does she have an extra pen?”(or) “does she has an extra pen”
2.”yes she has” (or) “yes she is having”
which is the correct one from above senteces correct? plzzz rply me.

shaazz

I,we you,they-do(present tense),did(past tense).
he,she it-does(present tense),did(past).Is it correct?? YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
“He has done his homework” is this sentence correct? YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

1.”does she have an extra pen?” YES!!!!!(or) “does she has an extra pen” NO – you don’t need to change have because “does” is changed.
2.”yes she has” YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (or) “yes she is having” NO – you cannot use “hav+ing”!

Ronnie

if we are saying anybody then what we can use DO or Does??
1.”do anybody want to take responsibility” or 2.”does anybody want to take responsibility” or i think often we use “IS” like”is anybody interested in dancing” plzzz i’ll be thankfull to u if u clear my confusion with some examples.
Hope u understand my question.

shaazz

Does anybody is correct = “anybody” is singular! So…has anybody, does anybody, was anybody.
“Is anybody” is correct!

Ronnie

With Noun do we use do or does for e.g. Anita do not know English or Anita does not know English. which one is correct

Anita

Does

Ronnie

thanks alot Ms ..

I did that Quiz what you gave us !

thanks alot .. keept up !

Hassan

Mrs. Ronnie , thank you so much

Nagita

i want to ask.. based from your video i found that u used all the personal pronouns as the example.but where is “it”? i could not find it in your video. does it have different usage from the above stated? thank you

Constance Chee

It = does/doesn’t. Did/didn’t!

Ronnie

i also would like to ask about is it correct if the questions= a) where does she go? or we can say where does she goes? however when i asked my friends most of them answered the answer is a. why?

Constance Chee

You only have to change the auxiliary verb “do” to does, You do not have to change BOTH verbs (do and go)!

Ronnie

Ronnie,Thanks!!
But I have a question,very very silly question for you:What differences between verb “to be”,which can be “do,does” and “am,is,are”???I know it sounds silly,but it my problem sometime…))

annytka

Your question is not silly! It is a very good question as many people are confused with to be and do!
First of all do/does IS NOT part of “to be”! “To be” is only am, is, or are!
Basically, if you have an adjective in the sentence, you are going to use “to be” Ex… I am tired. Tired is an adjective so you cannot say I do tired!
I am hungry. She is thirsty. They are smart.
“Do” is an action verb, and we use it with a noun- “I do my homework”. Homework is a noun. You cannot say I am homework!!!
He does aerobics. She does the dishes, They do math.

Ronnie

Thanks,Ronnie!You open a great secret for me)))

annytka

Awesome!!! thanks alot!

elle

Wonder which is a better line- “Do you want to grab dinner” or “Did you want to grab dinner”. What is the difference between the two sentences and what circumstances might be appropriate to use one or the other. Thoughts?

Sparkle

Did you is past tense, but we use this sometimes in informal conversation!
Do you is present tense and “proper grammar” if you are asking the person at the moment!

Ronnie

U’re doing a great work to not-english- spoke people (like me). Ur lesson is very good and basic but I have some trouble in listening can’t, didn’t and some negative words ’cause when foreigners say, they always swallow it and make me misunderstand.Please, help me. I hope that there aren’t too much grammar mistake in my message. Thank u for ur all ur help.

Mosquito

thank you very much!! this can help me to improve my remarks this Final Exam!! =))

Carl

yared

Hi
can you tell me what is correct: “i didnt knew” or “i didnt know”.
Thnx xxx

nana

I didn’t know. When we use “did”, we don’t need to change the other words to past tense – only one!!

Ronnie

Where is the subject “it” in this video? otherwise its fine. Why have you dropped down the subject ‘It’?

Mahesh

hi
thanks for teaching it is very useful.can you tell us what is adverb?

Mohammad Ali

An adverb describes how the verb is done. Ex. He ran slowly. Slowly=adverb, telling us how he ran.

Ronnie

arsal

what about CAN????
Will you always have a DO after a CAN????
As in “No can do!!!”
Just joking.
But you get what a mean!
Awesome stuff.

chris

Why do we use for third person the verb likes but when we use did we don’t. ie. He likes vs he didn’t like instead of he didn’t likes.

Maria

When we use the auxiliary verb “did”, we don’t need to change the other verb!

Ronnie

thank you Ronni i understand to your lisson.

sher61

Hi Ronnie, I have come accross this site trying to find help for my son (grade 3) with his English. He often makes mistakes with the use of “done” and I don’t know how to explain to him the correct usage, I can only tell him when it sounds wrong. Can you simplify when it is correct to use the word done as in, I did, I have done? The other day I done, I did?

lunar

Done we use with present/past perfect, or as an adjective “I am done”.
You cannot use done in simple past.

Ronnie

Thank you for all Ronni. i like your lessons

pppc

thank you for the lesson. I did learn a lot from your lessons.

abon

Ronnie

hi Ronnie..I wanna know what’s the difference between I and I am..sometimes i confuse how to use this two..thanks!!

josh

Use “i am + adjective. Ex… I am hungry/tired/happy.
Use I + verb. Ex.. I go/eat/play/have/want.

Ronnie

Awesome video!!!
Very simple and comprehensive!
I am only 2 months here in Canada and starting to speak English. Thanks a lot!!!
Canadians are so kind and friendly. I love Canada!!!

DEOKMAN

I you find any mistakes on my grammar, just correct it and I’m glad to know it! thanks!

DEOKMAN

If I use “didn’t”, Do I need to change the verb that follows?
For example, I didn’t make that or I didn’t MADE that?

DEOKMAN

If I use “didn’t”, Do I need to change the verb that follows? NO!
I didn’t make that = correct!!!

Ronnie

thanks

DEOKMAN

kaushal nigam

thanks for your lessons, I would like to ask you 2 questions. First I’m confused how to use the verb (Had) Ex, in one sentence you can se had had. I had had a big car, another question is the verb, (being) when can i use being, Ex, if i say , being a bad person is not good, its right, thanks for your help

dhagahoray

Had had is past perfect form. (had + p.p) Ex. I had had a dog but it died.I had eaten the apple.
Being we use in continuous forms of grammar. Ex. She is being funny, = She to be funny.

Ronnie

very informative and helpful .
thanks and rgds

A.Z.Khan

Ex. Leila and Aisha (don’t play/doesn’t) play vaolleyball.

maricel

If it is 2 people, we use “don’t”!!! Great question! Good luck!

Ronnie

My question is, “When to use did vs. done?”

Did = simple past verb. I did the dishes.
Done = past participle. I have done the dishes.

Ronnie

helo mam…
i’m very much bothered abt the usage of DID DO DOES in the framing of sentences… i would be very glad, if u could let me come out of my problem.

jeevan

it’s my great plesure.. if u suggest me some interesting novels comprising simple english.

jeevan

Ronnie

nela

Hello Ronnie! I have one question on Present Simple. What form in do we use verb start in the sentence: “At 2 o’clock lessons____again.” With ‘s’ or witout ending?
I’m looking forward for your reply.
Thanks!

yerlan95

Because the word “lesson” is plural, you don’t need to use “s”.
If the word lesson was singular, you need the “S”.

Ronnie

Hi! Ms Ronnie I’d like to know if “It” is a “Pronoun” too, because i think you forgot it to put there. Thanks!

hiimswendy

Yes, it is a pronoun. You are right – I did forget it! With it we use does!!!

Ronnie

i like your teaching ms ronnie but i would like to learn more about the pronounsiations of diffiicult words

Attaulla afridi

you with did or no??

azoz

Yes! You + did!

Ronnie

First i wanna say thank you, its really a very good videos and its really helpful!!

Second, i have two questions:
1. In this video you didn’t notice to “it” and “we”.. it would make me feel better if you will explain how do we reffer to them.
2 And the other questions is – can i write a sentence like that ” i’m not going” or “she’s not leaving” ?
becouse i saw another video that didn’t mention that way – and its got me confused..
you were talking about onlu “he isn’t” and not “he’s not”

the question is they both are ok?

ravid

It + does
We + do.
You can use both he isn’t and he’s not!
I’m not going” and “She’s not leaving” = both correct!

Ronnie

HELP! Which one is correct?
1. What “do” she and her family do on the weekend?
2. What “does” she and her family do on the weekend?

Jimmy Chen

1. She and her family = they!!!

Ronnie

Ronnie

hi, ms ronnie.
I have a question,
when we can use :
“Are and do” in a question ?

echa

Are + adjectives. Are you hungry?
Do + verb. Do you like pizza?

Ronnie

but how about in a profession,
why in “profession” have to uses are,
e.g . are you a nurse ?

echa

Profession we use to be. I am a nurse. ( I to be a nurse) You cannot say I nurse, as nurse in this case is a verb.

Ronnie

Thanks Ronnie, you help me a lot

Anonimous

Hello Ronnie,
I wanted to know that when do we use “does not” and when do we use “doesn’t” and also reason behind that and also about other such words for example:”have not,haven’t”,”did not,didn’t” and etc etc.
I also wanted to know meanings of words such as “preety” much impossible..I’l “figure it out” and other such words used in english conversation.
I hope that you’ll do lessons for me on these topics..
And I also hope that you’ll reply me as soon as possible..

tanni

Doesn’t = does ….they are the same. As well, haven’t ”have not,haven’t”,”did not,didn’t”. The only difference is that we use the shortened more and save the longer ones (have not) to make our point stronger.
Preety is not a word. Pretty??? Pretty means beautiful and very.

Ronnie

hi,miss i don’t understand the use of do,does and doesn’t. what will come with ‘it’do or does.plz explain.thanx

iffatkhan

thank so much i like this lesson and it is very nice lesson and helping me alot

sahra

JUNE HENG

i always got a perfect score on your quiz but why is that im struggling to speak my English up?

kling

congretulations ,I love your explain Do you are a english teacher?

bubus

Ohh..
Thanks for replying..
1 more thing I wanted to know.
We drink water from a bottle in two ways,
1.Without touching mouth as in holding it upwards and drinking.
2.By touching lips n mouth to bottle and drinking just like small children’s do.
what can we say to tell a person that we have touched our mouth???
I hope u understood my question as I’m not able to explain it properly..

tanvir

I am not too sure what you mean but…. babies suck
on a bottle. If i drink from a bottle I put my lips on it – we don’t have a special word for this!
To tell someone, I would just say my lips touched the bottle.

Ronnie

Very friendly explanation rather than Inglo-link.:)

Adrian

May I know the difference between INTO & ONTO?

Adrian

Into = inside
Onto = on top

Ronnie

thaink you

samer

Can u explain the difference in use between do and did? For example “I don’t have friends” vs “I didn’t have friends”.
Tx

Fotis

Do = present tense
Did = past tense.
Watch the video again!

Ronnie

Yes you understood..
Thanks..

tanvir

Hi Ronnie,
I must tell you that I fine tuned my English fundamentals through your videos. It would be great if you can share a video on Will/Would/can/Could with have and haven’ts. Please

sivam

Search the site for “Will/Would/can/Could” there are lessons there for you!

Ronnie

“What does he do in the afternoon?” It is right?..Why do I have to use “do” in this question, I am really confuse. Can you explain this to me? Thanks!

Evelyne

If you just say what does he in the afternoon – it makes no sense!
What does he eat/drink/say in the afternoon – you need a verb in the sentence!

Ronnie

Hi,can i use didn’t saw in a sentence or didn’t see is the correct one?

May

Didn’t see. Didn’t is past tense so you don’t need 2 past tense verbs!!!

Ronnie

thank you so much Ronnie thank you kindly you are good teacher your studint in kurdistan

hunar

Dear Ronnie,

Per you, Answer for the below quiz is “doesn’t”.. I wonder that why can’t we use “does”

She ________ like him, because he is very mean to her.
do
does
doesn’t

rajamurugan

Why would you like someone if they are very mean to you??

Ronnie

I just want to ask if this sentence is grammatically wrong.>>>> (I didn’t want to ask.)<<<< Is it grammatically correct? Why or why isn’t it right?Thanks and more power to your site^^

Ronnie

Hello! Teacher Ronnie.
I’m from Brazil. I would like know about the between differences “like and as” in other words, when can I to use like and as, ie, which situations?
thank you so much and congratulations for the lessons!!

abreu73

LIKE
The structure of the sentence is usually: VERB + LIKE + NOUN / PRONOUN.
He speaks like a native speaker.
She looks like a supermodel.
AS
The structure of the sentence is usually: AS + SUBJECT + VERB.
Nobody sings as she does.
They went to the party as they were.
It is very common in American English to use LIKE instead of AS. However, it is generally considered informal to use it in this way.

We play football like champions do.

Ronnie

hi mam ronie
i want to ask about somehow,anyhow,weither,either, how to use them in a conversation?
hope you can help me thanks.

hannazis23

Look the words up in a dictionary…there will be example sentences for you there!

Ronnie

Hello,madam ronnie.

I have one question here.
I saw the one shampoo product,the information wrote is “Did you know?Damaged hair is more prone to falling.”
why is did but not do?i’m very confused about it.Hope you can help,thank you:)

charis

You are correct……it should be “Do you know”!

Ronnie

Hi Teacher Ronnie, it’s me again!
I have one more a question. Ok!
The word “HOW” can I to use only at the beginning of sentences?

HAVE A GREAT DAY!

abreu73

Yes, most times we use it at the beginning. How are you? How is your mom? How is the steak? How do I get there? It is the same as the other wh questions = who what when where why + how!

Ronnie

I am fairly impressed with this site, and im glad i found it. I am currently living in Peru and am trying to teach kids some basic English, and one student asked me to talk about did and that, so this is great. Also, and just curious why was “it” excluded, like it did or it didn’t?

I am allergic to “it”! Ahahah just kidding… I forgot “it”!

Ronnie

thank you very much teacher Ronnie
Do you is BRILLIANT!!

abreu73

Hi Ronnie,

I like the way you are teaching and it is really help me to improve. Could you please provide me the difference between present/past & future with examples. I would really appreciate if you can reply me. thanks

Paul

Saim

/Does/always must be use He and She?

yjietan

Yes, in the present tense.

Ronnie

Hi teacher! I just learn English grammar in Cambodia, but I don’t understand how to use HAVE and GET.
I hearing you.God bless.

Chhouk

I want to clarify , if i want to say.. that place doesn’t have a soul or crowd attraction. Is that correct?
I am confused for the usage of Doesn’t have.

And usage of did ..like.. he didn’t do this correctly.
eg. with did we use.. present tense…

Rohit

Thank you …

perdast

Hi Ronnie you are a good teacher however i am confused with this sentence.( what does he do in the afternoon ) please explain the use of do does and did with it and which form of verb should be there ….also want to check with you do we use does with singular and do with plurals.

Jasmeet Kaur Kala

what will we use with (IT)

Jasmeet Kaur Kala

if i didn’t know that ben doesn’t /don’t like vanilla cakes ???? answer

john

thank you so much ronnie.. :):)

della

Which one of the following sentences is correct?
1) Do John and Sally want to go?
2) Does John and sally want to go?

Jay

What do you think is correct?

Ronnie

I think ‘Do’ because John and sally are more than one person. Am I right ma’am?

Anuar Safian

I think correct is #1

RRP07

I miss word “IT” in the video. There is used “does”.

majsa

Where should we use done in a sentences.

Badi

hi teacher ..
I want ask for you what is difference between (wh + be and
wh + do)
When we use( verb to be .verb to do ) with the question .
thanks for you

noormooon22

Be + adjective/noun. Where is he? Are you hungry?
Do + verb. What does he like? Who does she like?

Ronnie

In understanding test, one of the question I choose ‘does’ and the answer is wrong and the right answer is stated below:

She doesn’t like him, because he is very mean to her.

I confused because it seem have a contradiction. Someone does not like somebody because it very mean? Perhaps you can explain more.

Anuar Safian

Mean = not nice.
If someone is mean to you, they are not nice to you so you don’t like that person!

Ronnie

I’d like to ask about “Do & Does”.
How to use “Do & Does” with subject OUR？
Thanks

Wong

With (our) you must use a noun, so it will depend if the noun is singular or plural!
Singular noun use does. Our brother does his homework.
Plural noun use do. Our parents do the taxes.

Ronnie

Thanks for reply

If asking a question? For example, How does/do our service?
Use DO or Does?

Wong

i’m confused with this form “let god do the rest” i’m often hear this one. my question is why “God” use “do” why not use “does”? looking forward for your answer

Hany

Dear professor:
I want to know when we must use the auxiliary do-does in the interrogative form, with the verbs to have and toe.

María Celina Rusca

We use do/does with a regular verb.
Do you like pizza?
Does he have a job?

With a modal verb or to be verb, we do not use do/does!
Are you sick?
Is he funny?
Should we go now?

Ronnie

I want to know what can we use with the subjective IT, DO/ Does,
Because some teachers teach” we use does with 3rd person singular means he, she, it and any single noun..
Please strive to reform me..

Muneeb Khan

It + does.

Ronnie

This question will help lots of people. Is it a rule not to use plural after DO/DOES/DID? Example: He doesn’t LIKE. They don’t LIKE. He knows -> He doesn’t KNOW.

Son

Thank you very much. Its really helpful.

manoj

i have some sentences which is always make me confused. here they are

1. let GOD DO the rest
2.i’m looking in the mirror all the time. wondering what SHE DON’Tsee me

i know those sentences right because i found them from english-native but i don’t know what makes them right. i wish you read this comment Ronnie and get to answer my question. lots of thanks our beloved teacher

Hany

hello teacher! are(do, does, did)auxilary verbs? if not, what are they?

Jaihoo

Lucas

Amazing lesson but i have one doubt about that yet ..
What can i use about personal names?
Examples: Carlos will does your homework or Carlos will do your homework?
Melinda doesnt like him or Melinda dont like him?

Thanks in advance..

Carlos

Carlos and Melinda = he and she! So, you would use Carlos will do (you always use a base verb after will), and Melinda doesn’t like!

Ronnie

its so easy

denmar gwapo

i didn´t play tennis.

beatriz

You have to say I played tennis.
You can say I didn’t play tennis!

Ronnie

Could you please help me to explain when to use “Was” or “did” please

Mr. Roa

Was + adjective. I was hungry.
Did + noun. I did my homework.

Ronnie

Hi there! i have a doubt about the proper uses for Do/Does. When we have a common sentence such as : “mike runs every morning” and we use it to make it a question, the subject (mike) shall be deleted form the question? e.g He run every morning? Or can we write: “Mike does run in the morning? I’m from Mexico by the way. Thanks for your help guys!

antonio

The question form is “Does Mike (or he) run in the morning? Do/does + subject + base verb!

Ronnie

Thanks i like very much ,i have some debut in have/has how to use?

SUTHAN

Ronnie

i would say this is a very goog programme keep it up and your best to society by the way good luck

You are amazing. I just saw this site. Thanks for all your patience, and helping all ESL students including myself. I write articles for a nonprofit organization, papers for school etc. Can you proofread my work and correct my grammar as well? Or suggestions to make it stronger articles, & papers? If so, is there a way to send it to you through your email add? Please let me know. I really appreciate your kindness. Have a good one.

Joyce

muhammad ali

my parents does not allow party is correct or my parents dont allow party which is correct mam plz tell

naveen

My parents are plural so you have to use do not!
My parents do not allow SUBJECT to have a party.
OR My parents do not allow subject to party.

Ronnie

Good morning to all of you. I have some confusions with DO NOT and NOT TO. I do not know when I have to use DO NOT and when I have to use NOT TO

Patrick

Do not + verb. Do not go. Do not see.These are commands.
I was told not to go…she said not to eat. We use these in reported speech.

Ronnie

THANK YOU ON HELP ME

MOHAMMED

do not look. and do not see

are they both correct?

mel

Hi. I just want to ask if this sentence is correct, “Upon triggering the switch, magnetic contactor did not activate.”

prem

do you say: she doesn´t love Peter or
She doesn´t loves Peter

Thanks

Max Laguna

She doesn’t love Peter. (don’t change the verb)

Ronnie

why is “I told her not to drive” insted of “I told her don´t drive”

Rosario

Told makes it reported speech. So….don’t+ base verb, changes to NOT TO + base verb!

Ronnie

my friend sad “He do that sometimes”

is this correct ??

Vivek

Ronnie

Thank you so much

RAHAB SHREF

I can’t understand when DO uses in positive sentenses like “He does need help” instead “He needs help”. What is the difference?

Alex

“He needs help” is a regular sentence.
“He does need help” we use to emphasize (make stronger/clearer) the fact. We can use it if the listener did not understand the answer.
Ex…. A)Does he need help?
B)Yes, he needs help.
A)What? I didn’t hear you.
B)I said, He DOES need help!

Ronnie

mam, you explain all about it. but can you write the script what you said? because my lecture said that, i must write what you said. could you help me? please write some sentences for me..

Last Monday I started FCE Course here in Pordenone, in Italy. Today were the second lesson and we did some exercises with “do” and “does”… now I’m going to study this verb… because this is very important… We didn’t can use vocabulary, we didn’t can write with reading words, we must remember all the words we have seen or have heard during the oral exercise or during the lesson. It’s very hard for me…
Thaks Mrs Ronnie, for this lesson it’s very useful.

How about the questions?

Thank you.

Hassan Ali Akbari

Hi Ronnie! Here’s one very interesting question I guess! But I really need you to answer me, please!!!!! I noticed that Americans use “don’t” with it and he very often!!! in spoken English, even in the songs! For example: … and even forever don’t seem like long enough … or he don’t know what to do!!! Thus the question is: how often do you use it in your life and maybe you have some kinda rules in your spoken language when you can use it or not? Or maybe it just happens automatically when somebody speak and doesn’t depend on any “spoken rules”. Thank you and I’m very looking forward to hearing from you. Best regards!

Which is the correct sentence.

Can you tell me Ronne Please.

Rajkumar73

Thank you for the lessons. I have doubt
She does have a car.
she has a car .
which one is correct ?

harsha269

Thank you Mam Ronnie.

sergioopoc

Mr. Rajkumar, “don’t” and “doesn’t are both negative in the sentence. The difference is the first sentence is first person singular, and second is third person singular.

sergioopoc

Harsha, both sentence are correct. “Has” is the third person singular of the present tense “have”. In the first sentence “does have” means you want to emphasize something.

sergioopoc

Thank you so much for this opportunity.

Hello, Ronnie.
I have a question about using pronouns. I can’t understand why sometimes we can skip it? And where we can, where we can’t?
I mean about… well. As I know, I don’t have to say “I DO read a book”. But sometimes I loose this pronoun when I have to say it. And it’s the problem…
Thank you:)

Present Simple is a real simple tense in English!

Today we will talk about one of the most popular times of the English language — Present simple… As a rule, this tense is used when it comes to:

regularly repeated actions (dad always goes to Aunt Nina for sugar in the evenings)
events with a certain frequency (I learn English every day),
well-known facts (the Earth is round, the sky is blue, Putin is honest)
generalizations (cats love to eat mice),
and also when we talk about the timetable in the near future (the train leaves at seven in the evening).

Typically, the last note is about transportation, but can also be used with other scheduled events (the airship arrives at midnight, but the party starts at eight).

It is important to know that the ending —s / es. For example:

I learn English — He learnS English We play football — Everybody playS football

You go to school — My brother goES to school

The verb to be deserves special attention, but we will talk about it in a separate article.

First of all, this time should be used with events that occur with a certain frequency and / or regularity (regularity is also a kind of periodicity).

I go to school every day — I go to school every day
My friend often eats eggs — My friend often eats eggs
We usually play football in spring — We often play football in spring
I get up at 11 o’clock every Sunday — I wake up at 11 o’clock on Sundays

Such adverbs as: often, always, rarely, never, sometimes, every day, every other day, etc., etc., can act as a kind of indicator words for the use of Present Simple time.

Often. always. Seldom. Never. SOMETIMES. every day. Every other day.

Present Simple with facts and generalizations

When it comes to a specific fact or generalization, there is no better time than Present Simple.

The Sun is yellow — The sun is yellow
Children toys — Children love toys
Russia is a very big country — Russia is a very big country

Present Simple with planned events in the future

As mentioned above, most often this applies to the schedule of buses, trains, airplanes and other airships. However, when you are sure that the party starts at XNUMX pm (as was planned earlier), be sure to use the present time.

The train leaves at seven — The train leaves at seven
The party starts at five — Party starts at five
The class begins at six — Classes begin at six

Present Simple is pretty simple currently in English… With a little effort, you can easily master it.

Present Simple used when it comes to ordinary, regular or more / less constant actions in the present tense.

I read every day. — I read every day.
This sentence is about a routine that repeats every day.

She loves to travel. — She s to travel.
She generally loves to travel.

For the formation of Present Simple, we use the initial one, that is Form I a verb (the form given in dictionaries).

Statement

I work -I am working
We work — We are working
you work — You work / You work
They work — They work
my parents work — My parents are working

In statements in the 3rd person unit. h. (he, she, it) the ending is added to the verb -s (-es):

He works — He works
She works — She works
It works — He (for example, a computer) works
My brother works — My brother works

Denial

Negation in Present Simple is formed using an auxiliary verb do and particles Note… Do not is placed before the main verb.

I do not work — I am not working
We do not work- We do not work
you do not work- you don’t work / you don’t work
They do not work — They don’t work
my parents do not work — My parents do not work

In denials in the 3rd person unit. h (he, she, it) ending -s (-es) added to the auxiliary verb do, and the main verb is used without ending (do+esNote) [dʌz].

He does not work — It does not work
She does not work — It does not work
It does not work — It (computer) does not work
My brother does not work — My brother is not working

Note that doNote и does not also used in short form:

do not = do not (I don’t work — I don’t work)

does not = Does not (He doesn’t work — He doesn’t work)

Questions

An auxiliary verb is used to form interrogative sentences do, which is placed before the subject.

Do you work? — You are working? / Do you work?
Do they work? — They work?
Do your parents work? — Do your parents work?

For the formation of questions in the 3rd person ed. h. an auxiliary verb is placed in front of the subject do with ending -Is, the main verb remains without an ending.

Does he work? — He works?
Does she work? — She works?
Does it work? — Does he (the computer) work?
Does your brother work? — Does your brother work?

If the question starts with an interrogative word (what? Where? Why? When? Etc.), then that interrogative word is placed before the auxiliary verb.

Where do you work? — Where do you work?
Where does she work? — Where does she work?

Note that the subject question who? (who?) is formed differently. In this case, no auxiliary verb is required. The interrogative word who? is put in the place of the subject, while the semantic verb has the form of 3 liters. singular, so the ending -s (-es) is added to it.

Who works in a bank? — Who works at the bank?
Who’s to travel? — Who likes to travel?

Features of adding the ending -s (-es) to verbs in 3 liters. units h

If the verb ends in:

-s, -ss, -sh, -ch, -x, -o, -zz then added -Is: I miss — he misses, I wish — he wishes, I teach- he teaches, I fix — he fixes, I go — he goes, I buzz — he buzzes.
consonant + y, then -y changes to i, and adds -es (ies): I cry — he cries, I try — he tries.
vowel + y, then the ending is added -s: I play — he plays, I enjoy — he enjoys.

In all other cases, the ending is added -s.

Exception: I have — he has

Pronunciation features of the ending -s (-es)

If the verb ends in:

voiceless consonant, then the ending -s (-es) is pronounced [s]: I start [stɑːt] — he starts [stɑːts], I write [raɪt] — he writes [raɪts].
media or vowel soundsthen -s (-es) is pronounced [z]: I build [bɪld] — he builds [bɪldz], I come [kʌm] — he comes [kʌmz], I go [ɡəʊ] — he goes [ɡəʊz], I play [pleɪ] — he plays [pleɪz].
hissing or whistling sound (that is, the letters -s, -ss, -z, -sh, -ch, -tch, -x, -dge, -ge), then -s (-es) is pronounced as [ɪz]: I kiss [kɪs] — he kisses [kɪsɪz], I wash [wɒʃ] — he washes [wɒʃɪz], I catch [kætʃ] — he catches [kætʃɪz], I fix [fɪks] — he fixes [fɪksɪz], I change [tʃeɪndʒ] — he changes [tʃeɪndʒɪz].

Lesson 11. Present Simple Time in English

Daria SorokinaLinguist-translator, teacher of foreign languages.

A very important topic awaits us today, namely tenses in the English language. Times in English 12. Present, past and future, and in each of them there are four types. We will undoubtedly have to learn all this, but we will start from the beginning, from the simplest time: Present Simple.

You are already pretty good with the verb be and you know how to say who is who or who looks like. Also, you can already say what someone has or not, for this you need to use the verb have got or has got. What if you want to build a sentence with a verb, for example: I am walking, Vanya is reading, etc.? That’s why we need to get acquainted with the times.

Use of Present Simple Time

Present Simple is used when we are talking about:

Regular action that characterizes a person.

He lives in Moscow. He lives in Moscow.

Facts, absolute truths, laws of nature.

Water boils at 100 degrees. Water boils at 100 degrees.

Regularly repetitive actions.

He always does his homework. He always does his homework.

Sports commentary, author’s inserts.

Pavarotti sings wonderfully in this opera. Pavarotti sings wonderfully in this opera.

Schedule, programs (in the meaning of future tense).

The race starts at 3.00. The race will start at 3 o’clock.

Use Present Simple:

Regular action that characterizes a person.
Facts, absolute truths, laws of nature.
Regularly repetitive actions.
Sports commentary, author’s inserts.
Schedule, programs (in the meaning of future tense).

Time Education Present Simple

Now we need to consider how this time is actually formed. In an affirmative sentence, everything is simple. We take the verb in the infinitive, remove the to particle and put it in the sentence. English does not have as many endings as, for example, Russian or German.

Present tense has only one ending in Present Simple —s and it is added to verbs in the third person singular (pronouns he, she, it).

Let’s take a verb to work — work and conjugate it in the present tense.

I workhe worksshe worksit workswe workyou work

they work

Note: you should remember about the verbs that end in ss, sh, ch, x, o. To these we add the ending -es instead of -s. Also, the –y verbs deserve special attention. If there is a consonant before the ending, then it changes to –ies, if there is a vowel, then just add –s.

This rule is easy to remember if you know how the plural forms of nouns, because the principle of forming the endings is the same.

For example: I wash — he washes, I go — he goes, I cry — he cries.

With denial, things are a little different. Here the verb does not form a negation itself, as it was with the verbs be and have got, but with the help of an auxiliary verb do or does and the negative particle not.

Does is used with the third person singular (while the main verb loses the ending —s), but do with all other forms, that is, this is the plural and the pronoun I. We conjugate the same verb work.

The abbreviated form of the verb is given in brackets.

I do not work (don’t work) he does not work (doesn’t work) she does not work (doesn’t work) it does not work (doesn’t work) we do not work (don’t work) you do not work (don’t work)

they do not work (don’t work)

When translating, the verbs do and does are not translated in any way, they only help to build a sentence, therefore they are called auxiliary. Only the semantic (or main) verb is translated. In this case, it is work.

Questions are also built with the help of auxiliary verbs do or does, only in this case the auxiliary verb is put in the first place, then comes the pronoun or noun, and then the semantic verb.

Do I work? Does he work? Does she work? Does it work? Do we work? Do you work?

Do they work?

That’s all there is to the Present Simple time. Your task now is to learn how to correctly form sentences in this time and then actively use them in your speech!

English Times for Beginners: Present Simple

This is a 3-part series that will help you understand basic English tenses, their conjugation and learn how to build your own phrases automatically.

The present tense is used all the time in English, so it is important to properly understand its logic. Knowing the rules for the formation of simple sentences, it will be easier to master the rest of the system of English tenses.

How to build a phrase in Present Simple

First, let’s talk about action verbs that answer the questions “what to do?”, “What are you doing” (we will discuss state verbs separately).

Statement: the form of the verb does not change, except for the 3rd person, singular. numbers. In this case, the ending is added to the verb -s.

Let’s see an example with the verb sing — to sing.

I sing. — I sing. — You sing. — We sing. — They sing.

He sings… — He sings.

She sings… — She sings.

Important:

don’t forget the -s ending!
for some verbs when adding an ending -s spelling changes: study — studies, fly — flies
remember the exception verbs: have — has, do — does, go — goes

Negation: in this case, we put before the action verb don’t (full form — do not) or doesn’t for the 3rd person singular. numbers (long form does not). We don’t add any endings to the verb itself!

I do not sing. — I don’t sing.
you do not sing. — You don’t sing.
We do not sing. — We don’t sing.
They do not sing. — They don’t sing.
He Does not sing. — He doesn’t sing.
She Does not sing. — She doesn’t sing.

Questions are simple: put the auxiliary verb do or does at the beginning of the sentence.

Do I sing? — I sing?
Do you sing? — You sing?
Do we sing? — We sing?
Do they sing? — They sing?
Does he sing? — He sings?
Does she sing? — She sings?

These questions can be answered “yes” or “no” according to the principle: “Yes, I do” or “No, I don’t”. Replace the pronoun if necessary and try not to confuse do / does.))

If the question is clarifying, then you need a question word. We put it at the very beginning before the auxiliary verb do or does.

Why do I sing? — Why am I singing?
What do you sing? — What are you singing?
When do we sing? — When do we sing?
How do they sing? — How do they sing?
Where does he sing? — Where is he singing?
Which song does she sing? — What song is she singing?

Verb To Be

Separate consideration requires the English verb to be — to be, to be, to be.

After all, we do not always say that we are performing some kind of action. Sometimes we talk about where we are (“I’m in Paris right now,” “John is at work”), who we work for (“I am a doctor,” “my brother is a student»), and so on. Literally: «I am now in Paris», «I am a doctor»).

The action verb is not needed here, so the state verb to be helps out, which has its own forms. You just need to remember them.

Affirmative suggestions:

I am a singer. — I am a singer (singer).
He / she is a doctor. — He / she is a doctor.
We / you / they are friends. — We / you / they are friends.

In denial add the not particle to the verb to be:

I am not — I‘m not
He is not — He is not
We are not — We aren’t

Please note that abbreviated forms are used in everyday speech. I am writing the full form for you so that you know where and what is being formed.

Question begins with the desired form of the verbs to be:

Am I right? — I’m right)?
Is he your brother? — Is he your brother?
Are you cold? — Are you cold?

When to use Present Simple

to express facts that are always true:

The sun rises in the east. — The sun rises in the east.
It rains in autumn. — It rains in autumn.

to describe habits and regular actions (hint words: twice a month — twice a month, every Tuesday — every Tuesday, often — often, sometimes — sometimes, always — always, seldom — rarely)

How often do they study Chinese? — How often do they practice Chinese? — Where she lives?

What is your job? — What’s your job? (literally «What is your job?»)

in the future, when it comes to the official timetable (lessons, meetings, arrival / departure times of trains and airplanes, movie timetables or theater performances, etc.)

Lessons begin at nine tomorrow. — Lessons start tomorrow at 9.Our train arrives at twelve. — Our train arrives at 12.

What time does the film start? — What time does the film start at?

in the future, after the words if — if, when — when, until — until, as soon as — as soon as, after — after, before — before

English for everyone

In one of the previous articles, we dwelt in detail on the formation of this Present Simple time, and considered education in all three forms — affirmative, negative and interrogative. Education is clearly visible here — Present Simple Education Table.

When is do and does used in Present Simple? There are generally three possible uses, even four. Let’s consider all these possible uses.

First use of do and does in Present Simple

In general, the verb do can not act as an auxiliary verb, but simply as a regular verb. Let’s translate the following sentences into English:

I always do my homework	I always do my homework
She does the cleaning every day	She does housework every day

That is, we simply use the verb do with the addition of s or without the addition. This is an ordinary verb.

Second use of do and does in Present Simple

The verb do or does can act as an auxiliary verb, that is, it will help in the formation of the Present Simple tense. In which cases? In questions. And also the sentence must contain a verb. Here is a table of the correct choice of do or does

Do	I	work?
we
you
they
Does	he
she
it

Examples of sentences and their translation into Russian:

You know the answer?	Do you know the answer?
Does she go to school five days a week?	Does she go to school five days a week?

Third use of do and does in Present Simple

We have already said that in the negative form when forming Present Simple, we mainly use abbreviated forms — doesn’t or don’t. Keep in mind, however, that these are shorthand forms for does not and do not. Here do and does also act as auxiliary verbs.

Present Simple education table in negation, in full form

I	do not	work
We
you
They
He	does not
She
It

And the last thing I would like to dwell on is inversion. Inversion is sometimes used in English. It is used for amplification. And the reverse word order is used. Let’s translate into English:

I really like this computer

But you can also use inversion and we replace really with do or does depending on the person.

I really like this computer	I do this computer
She really knows the truth	She does know the truth

Perhaps the fourth is the least common use of do and does, but it also occurs in English.

Present Simple in English: Everything You Need to Know | English is easy!

Present Simple grammatical tense is the simple present in English. This is the easiest verb construction to understand. It is with Present Simple that the acquaintance with English grammar begins. We will try to describe the rules for using Present Simple in the simplest and most accessible way, with examples.

When is Present Simple used

The rules state that Present Simple is used to express ordinary actions that are constant or regularly repeated. For example, when it comes to daily routine, any habits, daily schedule, etc.

The simple present in English is used when:

It speaks about something in general or all known facts. For example:

Koalas lives in Australia. — Koalas live in Australia.
The sun rises in the east. — The sun rises in the east.
A cat has four legs. — The cat has four legs.

We are talking about ordinary repetitive activities that happen in general, on a regular basis. For example:

The shop opens at 8.30 in the morning. — The store opens at 30 in the morning.
The train to Tallinn leaves every hour. — The train to Tallinn leaves every hour.

To describe someone’s habits and routines. For example:

Alice brushes her teeth twice a day. — Alice brushes her teeth twice a day.
I always close the window in the evening. — I always close the window in the evening.

To describe the preparation of food, in instructions and manuals instead of the imperative mood, when several step-by-step actions are listed:

We mix flour and eggs. We add a pinch of sugar. We bake a cake at 250 degrees. — Mix flour and eggs, add a pinch of sugar. We bake the cake at a temperature of 250 degrees.

If you need to shorten long headlines in newspapers and news bulletins. For example:

Amazon receives Patent for Drone Delivery System. — Amazon received a patent for a drone delivery system.

That is, the Present Simple is used to indicate actions that occur every day, at the present time, but are not tied to this particular moment of speaking.

Present Simple Education Rules

The present simple tense in English is formed according to the principle:

For creating affirmative proposal you need to use a verb without a particle to or add the ending –s / es for the 3rd person singular (he, she, it) and put it after the subject (the performer of the action).

I drive	I drive
You drive	You drive
He / she / it drives	He, she, it drives
We drive	We drive
You drive	You drive
They drive	They drive

For interrogative sentences, you need to take the helper or auxiliary verb and put do or does for the 3rd person singular.

Do I drive?	I drive?
Do you drive	Do you drive?
Do he / she / it drives	Does he, she, does it drive?
Do we drive	Are we driving?
Do you drive	Do you drive?
Do they drive	Do they drive?

For negative sentences, helper verbs or the auxiliary verbs do and does + not are also used.

I don’t drive	I do not drive
You don’t drive	You don’t drive
He / she / it doesn’t drive	He, she, it doesn’t drive
We don’t drive	We do not drive
You don’t drive	You don’t drive
They don’t drive	They don’t drive

If the question begins with the word Do you?, Then answer «Yes, I do.» or «No, I don’t» (= do not). If the question starts with Does he / she / it? — also answer “Yes, he / she / it does” or “No, he / she / it doesn’t” Note that the ending –s / es in the 3rd person singular disappears.

Remember the rule Present Simple to answer the question: answer as asked.

However, if the question starts with when, who, why, where, which, or how, then the previous scheme will not work. In this case, you need to add the particle not to the auxiliary verb according to the scheme: subject / object + do / does not + main verb + everything else.

For example:

I don’t this T ‑ shirt. — I don’t like this T-shirt.

Difficult use cases for Present Simple

In English, the simple present tense is also used in conditional statements of the zero (Zero Conditional) and the first type (First Conditional). Consider the features of using Present Simple in such sentences.

Conditional clauses zero type (Zero Conditional) imply the application of the always true condition — when it comes to all known information, scientific facts, generally accepted statements or laws of nature.

Zero Conditional is formed according to the following scheme:

If + Present Simple (condition), Present Simple (result)

For example:

If you freeze water, it becomes ice. — If you freeze water, it turns into ice.

Conditional clause first type (First Conditional) implies the existence of a «real» condition — something that will certainly happen soon if this condition is met.

First Conditional is formed according to the following scheme:

If + Present Simple (condition), Future Simple (result)

For example:

If this museum is open, we will go on an excursion there. — If the museum is open, we will go there for an excursion.

In such statements, after the «if» there is Present Simple, even in cases where the action will occur in the future.

For example:

The cat will scratch you if you pull her tail. — A cat will scratch you if you pull its tail.

Another difficult use of Present Simple in English is clauseswhen Present simple is used after until (not yet), when (when) or as soon as (as soon as), provided that the action occurs in the future. refers to the future tense.

Scheme of the formation of a subordinate clause in the present tense:

When / until / as soon as + Present Simple, Future Simple (result)

For example:

I will stay at home until he comes back. “I’ll be home until he comes back.

So, Present Simple in English is used in many cases, therefore it is studied at different levels of mastering foreign speech and literacy.

Everything about Present Simple

Russian-speaking people think the English system of more than 10 times is very complex, meaningless and unnecessary. Behind this seeming meaninglessness, there is simply a different mentality. In fact, each time in its own way is important and necessary in the language!

What is the simple present tense for in English

Very often in our speech situations arise when it is necessary to say or talk about what you usually do. For example, friends might ask, «What do you do on weekends?» relatives ask: «Why are you so busy every day that you cannot come to visit us?» or a disgruntled stranger to make a complaint: «Do you always park your car like this?»

Just to compose your answer, you will use Present Simple! In Russian, the name of the time sounds like «Real simple».

How is formed

When studying modern times, we have been taught since school times that the first and most important rule is the way of education and the description of the construction of sentences of any time. Let’s consider how Present Simple is built and behaves in different types of sentences.

No auxiliary verb needed when forming
We Have breakfast all together every day. It’s our family tradition.	In the example, the affirmative form of the verb. This is the most favorite type of sentence construction for students. The scheme for constructing a sentence: take a subject, put a real simple form of the verb in English (that is, the initial form, which is fixed in the dictionary) and get affirmative sentence.
My little brother drives his ty car with pleasure.	In this affirmative sentence there is a little addition that is often forgotten — s. The ending must be added: when we are not talking about ourselves, but about someone else, one person; in affirmative sentences and questions to the subject.

Present Simple — simple present in English

Time Present simple denotes an action that takes place in the present. It is used to denote an action that occurs at all, not necessarily at the moment, if it happens constantly, or is repeated.

It doesn’t matter to us whether the action takes place at the time of speech, for example, when we talk about someone’s habits, daily routine, schedule, etc., i.e.

Present simple denotes actions that are currently taking place, but are not tied specifically to the moment of speech.

Let’s consider how the verb conjugates using the example of «love» — to love.

Affirmative sentences

I love	we love
you love	you love
He/she/it loves	they love

As you can see, the form of the verb changed only in the 3rd person, where the ending appeared -s.

Note
In the formation of a third person, joining the end -s, you should remember: if the verb ends in -s, -ss, -sh, -ch, -x, -o, then the ending is added to it -Is; to verbs in -y the ending is also added -es а -y replaced by -i-.

He washes his car. He washes his car. (infinitive wash, ends in sh, therefore we add -Is)
Hetries. He tries (infinitive try, ending y, then we add -Is and change -and- on —i-)

Interrogative sentence

An auxiliary verb is used to construct an interrogative sentence «Do» and it is he who is conjugated, i.e. when using 3rd person, it will have the shape does.

As for the word order in such a sentence. In the first place is the interrogative word, if any, followed by the auxiliary verb, then the subject and the predicate verb itself.

Wh-question + do / did / have / had / will + subject + verb?

Do I love?	Do we love?
Do you love?	Do you love?
Does he/she/it love?	Do they love?

Do you love me? Do you love me?
Does he speak English? He speaks English?

Negative sentences

To give the sentence the meaning of negation, you must use the auxiliary verb do and add a particle to it Note.

Do not. in colloquial speech, they most often resort to its abbreviated form: don’t, doesn’t

I don’t love	We don’t love
You don’t love	You don’t love
He/she/it doesn’t love	They don’t love

When constructing questions with negation, we construct a sentence in the same way as with «Do», but only now together with the negative particle Note.

I don’t you. I like you. He doesn’t have a new car. He doesn’t have a new car.

Doesn’t she have a new car? Doesn’t she have a new car?

Examples of use Present simple

Regular and repetitive actions,

I often go to the city. I often travel to the city.
They dance every weekend. They dance every weekend.

Actions taking place right now, talking about the present,

I go to the city now. I’m on my way to town now.
We live in Kaliningrad.

When listing some well-known facts,

The Earth is round. The earth is round.

And also in some cases, indicating the past or future (the train leaves, arrives), when listing any actions (take, add, subtract, transfer, get ..).

As you can see, English Present Simple is used in the same cases as in Russian, when we use the verb in the present tense.

Note
The conjugation of the verb to be is different from the conjugation of other verbs, it should be studied separately and memorized!

The Present Simple Tense (rules for beginners)

Unlike the Russian language, in which the verb has only ONE present tense, in English there are as many as FOUR of them:

The Present Simple Tense, The Present Continuous Tense, The Present Perfect Tense belong to the basic level. And today you will find out basic rules of Present Simple Tense, namely:

1. When should you use Present Simple Tense in a sentence?

2. What temporal expressions indicate Present Simple Tense?

3. What is the form of the verb in Present Simple Tense?

4. How to write a sentence in Present Simple Tense?

5. When should you add the -S ending to a verb in Present Simple Tense?

6. How is the ending -S / -ES pronounced in a verb?

* * *

1. When should you use a simple present tense in a sentence?

We’ll start our conversation about the times from the simple present tense (The Present Simple Tense), which sometimes does not seem simple, but is such in essence, since you can use it in any sentence that is relevant to the present time, that is, the verb which answers the question what does the object do?

Attention! Further, we will replace the word object with the word actor and designate it — D.L, and instead of the word verb we will use the word action, which we denote — D.

The only exceptions to this case are situations in which D.L. commits D. at this moment in time, but then the sentence contains the words: now, at this moment, listen! Look. In this case, you need to use The Present Continuous Tense (present for a long time).

Rule 1. If the action in the sentence takes place in the present tense NOT at the moment, then you can safely use the simple present tense of the verb — The Present Simple Tense.

* * *

2. What temporal expressions indicate a simple present?

Formally Present simple tense used in a sentence if it contains temporary expressions (hints): every day (week, month, year), once a week (day, month, year), on Saturdays (Sundays,), always — never, often — seldom, usually — sometimes

Examples.

I go to work every day.
We go to the park once a week.
He usually comes home late.

When should you add the -S ending to an action verb? — HERE

Translation of these expressions:

every day — every day (week, month, year)
once a week — once a week (day, month, year)
on Saturdays — on Saturdays (Sundays, Mondays, Tuesdays, etc.)
always — always
never — never
often — often
seldom — rarely
usually — usually
sometimes — sometimes

or other words. The CONTEXT is also a hint (but this is no longer the basic level).

Rule 2. If the sentence contains temporary expressions always — never, often — seldom, usually — sometimes, etc. and the action takes place in the present tense, then you can safely use the simple present tense of the verb — The Present Simple Tense.

* * *

3. What is the form of the verb in the simple present tense?

Rule 3. The verb in the simple present tense stands in first form… This is the basic form of the verb and you will find it in the dictionary. Sometimes they call her — infinitive of a verb without a particle to… Further, we will designate this form — D. (action).

* * *

4. How to write a sentence in Present Simple Tense?

Rule 4. Below are three schemes of sentences in Present Simple. Use the schemes.

(from the book “English Grammar: Simple on the Difficult)

Note that the auxiliary DOES appears in a negative and interrogative sentence only in the 3rd person singular. number. CM. Rule 5 (below).

* * *

5. When should the ending -S be added to a verb in the present simple tense?

Rule 5. The ending -S is added to the action verb in the affirmative sentencewhen D.L. (subject in a sentence) is in the third person singular, that is, it is a pronoun he, she, it or it can be replaced with a pronoun he, she, it.

EXAMPLES.

He reads every day. — The boy reads every day.

The material is intended for everyone who learns English from scratch, as well as for those who want to refresh and systematize their knowledge.

Use Cases Present Simple

In order to understand well in what cases it will be appropriate and competent to use this tense, consider when the simple present is used in English.

Case 1. Reporting Habits, Regular Activities

Familiar facts or repeated actions with adverbs for a long time: often — often, usually — usually, as a rule — usually, always — always, Sometimes — sometimes, Cada dia — everyday, every week — every week, etc. With adverbs giving negative meaning: seldom — rarely, Rarely — rarely, hardly ever — almost never.

When perfection comes, everything imperfect disappears (a wise saying used for centuries)

Case 2. We talk about well-known facts, laws of nature, mathematics, physics, etc.

This includes both strict laws of nature and sciences, as well as definitions, familiar facts, a statement of fact. Examples:

Two by two is four.

Berlin is the capital of Germany.

The Volga flows into the Caspian Sea.

A nurse is a person who works in hospitals and looks after patients.

A nurse is a person who works in a hospital and cares for patients.

Case 3. We use the simple present to replace the imperative

We use Present Simple replacing Imperative Mood (imperative mood) when we give advice on the use of medicines or food, recipes for dishes, or explain to a passerby how to get somewhere on the street:

First you take 1kg flour and add 3 fresh eggs

First, take 1 kilogram of flour and 3 eggs.

You go along this street about five mins then turn left at the crossroads.

Walk along this street for about 5 minutes and then turn right.

You clean the living room and then do the washing up in the kitchen.

You clean the living room and then you wash the kitchen floor.

Case 4. Story, narration about actions, events not tied to a specific time

We tell an anecdote, describe the main storyline of the film, production, etc.

This old woman lives along in a thick forest.

The old woman lives alone in a dense forest

Case 5. Present Simple is used with the verbs of state and possession (instead of Present Continuous)

There are two categories of verbs that use the simple present instead of the long one. Let’s consider these groups and examples of sentences with them.

State verbs

First, it is verbs that show our state (not action), sensations of the senses, visual or mental perception. Consider a table with examples:

# Verb Examples 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13

Know	I know Peter well. He is my friend I know Petya well. He is my friend.
Remember	I remember that year
Understand	I understand you and your mother. I understand you and your mom.
Mind	I don’t mind.
Agree	Do you agree with me on this project?
Want Want	I don’t want to take this bike.
Wish	I wish to come back home.
Hear	I hear everything. I hear everything.
See	I see the building against the store.
Love	I love my wife. I love my wife.
DisDon’t love	I dis cruelty. I don’t like cruelty.
Seem	It seems to me or are you really?
Prefer Prefer	She prefers to be silent, when he is tired.

Possession verbs

Second, the with verbs that indicate possession or possession… Consider a table with examples:

# Verb Examples 1 2 3 3 3

Own	I own a big house.
Belong to	It doesn’t belong to my sister.
Have (has) To have, to have	She doesn’t have a sense of humor.
Include	Does the tour include food?
Owe owe, owe, owe	He owes the bank.

For all verbs except to be

First, consider the scheme for constructing affirmative sentences in Present Simple. It’s very simple, you need to take:

actor
and put next to the verb from the dictionary (without the to particle)
add the rest of the words (if any).

Pay attention to the word order: character + semantic verb + other words.

I drink tea.

I’m drinking tea.

You work in an office.

You work in an office.

We live in Moscow.

We live in Moscow.

they go to the theater.

They go to the theater.

Ann and peter go to the theater.

Anya and Petya go to the theater.

I, YOU, WE, THEY + VERBIN INFINITIVE + OTHER WORDS.

This is the rule for constructing affirmative sentences for 1st and 2nd person (that is, for nouns that can be replaced with pronouns: I (I), you (you), We (you), They (they)).

To build a proposal for 3nd person (that is, for nouns that can be replaced by pronouns He (he), She (she), It (it is animals and inanimate objects)) the ending must be added to the verb -s / -es.

SHE, HE, IT + VERB ENDED -S / -ES + OTHER WORDS.

She drinks tea.

She drinks tea.

Ann drinks tea.

Anya is drinking tea.

Doesn’t work in an office.

He is working in the office.

Peter works in an office.

Petya works in the office.

it lives here.

It lives here.

The cat lives here.

The cat lives here.

Ending -s or -es?

It is necessary to clarify when the ending -s is added to the semantic verb, and when -es. We can say that the ending -s is always added, but there are two exceptions, in which instead of -s, we write -es:

We write the ending -Iswhen the verb ends in -o, -ch, -sh, -x, -s, -z.

Lesson 3 — Present Simple

In this lesson: — New words — The verb «to be»

— Present Simple — simple present

The verb to be in English

The meaning of the verb to be is to be, to be. The verb to be is conjugated (i.e. changes by person and number).

Forms of the verb to be:

I am — I am (exist) He / She / It is — he, she, it is (exists) We are — we are (exist) You are — you, you are (exist)

Тhey are — they are (exist)

I am in the room. — I’m in the room.
The book is on the table. — The book is on the table.

Important! Unlike the Russian language, in English the linking verb is never omitted. An English sentence has a strictly fixed word order: subject + predicate + object.
I am a doctor. — I am a doctor. (I am a doctor.)

He is from London. — He’s from London.

The verb to be is not translated into Russian in most cases!
I am happy. — I’m happy.

The book is good. — The book is good.

To ask a question, you need to put the verb to be before the subject: Am I happy?

Is the book good?

To form a negative form, you need to put the particle not after the verb to be: I am not happy.

The book is not good.

Present Simple — simple present

Present Simple means action in the present in the broadest sense of the word. It is used to refer to routine, repetitive, or persistent activities.

Education Present Simple

Affirmative sentences: I loveWe loveYou loveYou loveHe / she / it loves

they love

Interrogative sentences: Do I love? Do we love? Do you love? Do you love? Does he / she / it love?

Do they love?

Negative sentences: I do not love We do not love You do not love You do not love He / she / it does not love

They don’t love

The verb in the tense form Present Simple almost always coincides with its initial, that is, indicated in the dictionary, form without the to particle. Only in the 3rd person singular it is necessary to add the ending -s to it: I work — he works— If the verb ends in -s, -ss, -sh, -ch, -x, -o, then the ending is added to it — es: I wish — he wishes— The ending -es is added to the -y verbs, and the -y is replaced by -i-:

I try — he tries

In order to build an interrogative sentence, an auxiliary verb must be placed in front of the subject. The Present Simple tense is used without it, so in this case the auxiliary verb do (or does in 3 l. Units) is added: Do you this book?

Do you like this book?

Does he speak English? — He speaks English?

The auxiliary verb do / does is also used in negative sentences, but it is placed before the verb. The negative particle not is added after it. Do / does and not are often shortened to don’t and doesn’t, respectively:
I do not this book. — I don’t like this book.

Present simple tense in English

» English » Present simple

Present Simple is the most important of the Present group. It is with him that the study of English grammar begins. The name speaks for itself: Present Simple is the simplest in the sense of both use and construction.

At first glance, the use cases for this present tense are obvious. We take Present Simple when we want to talk about the events that are happening now. However, even here the language has its pitfalls, albeit small ones.

In addition to Present Simple, there are other variants of the present tense. In total, the English language has four such tenses: in addition to the above, there are also Present Continious, Perfect and Perfect Continious. The difference between simple and continuous forms is immediately clear.

In the first case, we are talking about a completed or one-step action, while in the second we are talking about an event that lasts for a certain period. Perfect, unlike Present Simple, generally reflects the past action, the results of which, however, have a connection with the present moment.

Remember this information, and it will be immediately clear to you which time to use in different situations.

Now that we understand what place the Present Simple occupies in the grid of times, it’s time to figure out in which specific situations it can and should be used.

The first option that comes to mind when talking about Simple is a reflection of regular actions, for example: Mary cleans her winter coat every spring — Marie cleans her winter coat every spring.

I sing in church choir every Sunday — I sing in church choir every Sunday.

We use the same Present Simple construction when we are talking about actual things, for example, about the status of a person, his profession, hobby, habit.
Jenny loves rock music that’s why she goes to rock festivals every summer — Jenny loves rock music, so she goes to rock festivals every summer.

It is important to note that for Present Simple it is completely unnecessary that the event be tied to a specific moment. So, you will use Present Simple when telling about where you live, what language you learn, and so on.

Present Simple is also your only option if you are talking about any known facts that are not in doubt: One year consists of twelve months — One year consists of twelve months.

Sixty minutes form one hour — Sixty minutes is one hour.

This is the present tense used in most stories and stories that describe current actions. That is, you will use Present Simple if you need to reflect the sequence of events in speech or writing.

Present Simple is also suitable if you, for example, will tell you how to get to a certain place, how to cook a certain dish, and so on.
Go straight ahead, then turn right, go further on and take first cross on the left.

There you find the metro station — Go straight, then turn right, go straight again and turn left at the first intersection. There will be a metro station ..

Now, pay attention to one little catch: the simple present is also used to refer to future events. But only in one specific case: if we are talking about a scheduled event that has an exact start time:
Train from Barcelona comes to Madrid at quarter to three — The train from Barcelona arrives in Madrid at quarter past three.

There is another unusual point in the English language, which is often indicated in grammar textbooks. Sometimes, Present Simple can also be used to reflect past actions. This is most often done in news headlines in newspapers, magazines or online publications. Strike starts in the airport of Paris this morning — A strike started at the Paris airport this morning.

Hurricane in California kills thousand people — Thousand people were killed in a hurricane in California.

There are times when journalists use the present tense in their articles to talk about what is about to happen in the near future. But this happens very rarely, and the adverb of the time is necessarily used.
Next month the king of Spain flies to Barcelona to speak with the president of Catalonia about independence — The king of Spain will fly to Barcelona next month to discuss independence with the president of Catalonia.

What markers help to recognize Present Simple?

In almost all temporal forms of the English language, there are some kind of markers, by which it is almost unmistakably guessed what time to use in a given situation.

A simple indefinite tense has a whole list of clues. They can even be divided into several groups. The first includes those that indicate a specific moment of action (today, this afternoon, everyday). To the second we can include more extensive adverbs (often, usually, seldom, always). In addition, in the case of Present Simple, they are often used from time to time, occasionally and others.

However, do not forget that the same markers can indicate other times, so you should not be equal to them only. For example, always can stand for both Present Simple and Present Perfect. Compare: Adam is always late for the meetings — Adam is always late for the meetings.

My grandfather has always loved old movies with Odry Hepbern — My grandfather always loved old films with Audrey Hepbern.

Therefore, to accurately determine the times, you need to operate with all possible rules at the same time.

Simple tense education in English

Present Simple education usually does not raise any questions even for those who are just starting to study English.

To build an affirmative sentence, you only need the initial form of the verb and that’s it. The only thing you need to remember is that in the third person singular, the ending –s is added to it.

These rules also apply to irregular verbs, so you don’t have to memorize anything in addition to mastering Present Simple. I spend three hours to get from my apartment to office — I spend three hours to get from my apartment to the office.

He goes to cooking courses every Monday — He goes to cooking courses every Monday.

If you want to make a negative or interrogative sentence in Present Simple, the auxiliary verb do comes in handy. In the third person singular, it takes on the ending –s (does), and for a semantic verb this ending is removed. In a negative clause, do / does comes second (or after the subject), and the negative particle not is added to it. It can merge with the verb in the letter — don’t or doesn’t.

I don’t visit my grandparents very often and I feel ashamed because of that — I don’t visit my grandparents too often, and I feel very ashamed because of that.

Irene doesn’t want to move to her boyfriend to USA because she doesn’t want to leave her old parents behind — Irene doesn’t want to move to her boyfriend in the USA because she doesn’t want to leave her elderly parents.

If the sentence contains modal verbs (can or must), then the auxiliary verb in Present Simple is not required. Moreover, even in the third person singular, these verbs retain their initial form, to which a negative particle is added:

Chris can’t come to dinner tonight. His boss asked him to stay at work longer and finish up the project — Chris cannot come to dinner today. His boss asked him to stay late and complete the project.

I mustn’t call him today though I want to. It’s only two days from our first date and I feel awkward that he didn’t call yet. Maybe he doesn’t it as much as I do — I shouldn’t call him today, although I really want to. It’s only been two days since our date, and I feel uncomfortable that he hasn’t called yet. Maybe he didn’t like it as much as I did.

Now let’s look at the construction of interrogative sentences. There should be no difficulties with them either. According to the rules, all English questions are built according to the same scheme, regardless of whether you use Present Simple or any other form.

If for the Russian language it is enough to emphasize the question intonationally, then in this case it all depends on the word order. The auxiliary verb in the right tense is always put in the first place, then the subject comes, and then the semantic verb.

In the case of Present Simple, the same do or does is used. If the question is general, then this is enough.

If special, then an interrogative word (what, when, how and others) should be in front of the auxiliary verb.

Separately, it should be said about interrogative sentences to the subject (who / what) — this is the only case when an auxiliary verb is not required during formation, and a semantic one is put after the interrogative word.

Who comes to dinner with us tonight? — Who’s coming to dinner with us today?

Why does Jack call you? I thought you broke up months ago — Why is Jack calling you? I thought you broke up months ago.

When does Jimmy Fallon’s show start? I can’t find it in program — When does the Jimmy Fallon show start? I cannot find it in the program.

Does he want to come grab some ice-cream with us? He studies for too long. I’m sure he needs a break

— He wants to go for ice cream with us? He has been studying for so long. I’m sure he needs a break.

There is also a very common case when the auxiliary verb do / does is used in an affirmative sentence. In this case, it has no semantic meaning and is not translated separately.

But he seems to make the proposal even more affirmative, so to speak, and gives the listener or reader more confidence in the veracity of the information.

He does know Mary. I swear I saw them together on the party last night — He definitely knows Mary. I swear I saw them together at the party last night.

Present Simple rules: how time is formed and what is

If you want to talk about events, which happen usually and every day, and there is no emphasis on achieving a result, then it is necessary to use a simple present (Present Simple).

Let’s figure it out, what is Present Simple in theory? The key concepts for understanding this time are:

simplicity,
everyday life,
habit,
constancy.

Also, the need to use this time arises when an indication of generally accepted and well-known things (laws, phenomena), i.e. The Simple presentation in English indicates that the situation will not change.

Compare two phrases:

I have not been to London this year, what a pity that I will not be able to go!

Или:

I have not been to London since the beginning of the year, but I will still go.

In the first case, the situation is described exactly as required by Present Simple.

Seven Cases When You Need to Use Present Simple

Application of Present Simple in English:

An indication of an ordinary actionwhich is happening now. He doesn’t homework. — He doesn’t like doing homework.
Repetitive activities or habits… She runs on Saturday. — She runs in the morning.
Well-known phenomena or facts, fixed truths. Water freezes at 0 ° Celsius. — Water freezes at zero degrees Celsius.
Actions, which are part of the schedule (sometimes they will take place in the future). The next train to London leaves in 10 minutes. — The next train to London will be in 10 minutes.
A description of the state that is constant and does not change… I look my mother. — I look like my mom.
Statement of fact (long-term). My sister doesn’t work in a court of justice. “My sister doesn’t work in court.
In the headlines when retelling stories or an ordinal listing of actions… We analyze our clients may need, develop a new product, improve it and sell it. — We analyze what our clients may need, develop a new product, refine it and sell it.

Note! Present Simple rules tell us that for the speaker the moment of what is happening or the presence of a result is not important.

Simple present education rules

How does Present Simple form, what is the structure of the sentence to build? In this time Present Simple verbs are used in the first form of the verb table (V0) The verb (predicate) in the first form is placed after the subject, and the circumstances of the time are placed at the beginning of the sentence. At first glance, the grammar of Present Simple is very simple, but there are points that should not be forgotten:

Present Simple tense can be formed using the linking verb to be.
In the 3rd person singular, all verbs end with -s (-es, -ies).
When forming general questions, the auxiliary verb to do is used without the particle to, and in the 3rd person singular it becomes does.
When forming special questions, the interrogative pronoun is put in the first place, then the auxiliary verb to do (without the to particle) in the appropriate form.
When creating special questions using the pronouns who or what, the auxiliary verb is not used, but the Present Simple rule states that the answer needs the appropriate form of the verb. The explanation can be illustrated by the following example: Does he work at the office? Yes, he does. — Does he work in the office? Yes it works.
The negative form of the verb is formed by adding the particle not to the verb to do.

Thus, it is safe to say that the present can and should be studied with an English tutor. After all, this is the only way you will be sure of the correctness of your knowledge.

Words by which you can determine that we are talking about Present Simple

To make it easier to understand what time should be used, there are so-called «time markers», i.e. circumstances, indicating the possibility of using Present Simple time.

These include the following words: always (always), usually (usually), seldom (rarely), generally (actually, in general), every day (every day), this week (this week), this time (on this time), never, often.

Present simple — present simple tense in English

Definition
How is formed
When used

Singular Plural 1 person 2 person 3 person

you go	you go
He/she/it goes	they go

For even more examples, see the Present simple example sentences article.

Assertion rules

The affirmative form of the simple present tense is formed very simply: after the subject there is a verb in the first form, while the auxiliary verb is not used.

As a subject, both pronouns (I, you, he, she, it, we, they) and nouns (boy, cars, snow) can be used.

The first form of the verb is the infinitive without the to particle. But in the 3rd person singular, that is, for pronouns he, she, it and nouns in the singular (boy, snow), the ending -s (-es, -ies) is also added to the verb.

For more information on the rules for writing these endings, see the article on endings -s, -es, -ies.

Where S (subject) is a subject (pronoun or noun)

V1 (verb) — verb in the first (initial) form

Additional examples of interrogative sentences.

Rules for building a question

To form an interrogative sentence, it is enough to add the auxiliary verb do (does) to the beginning of the sentence before the subject.

Does is used only in those sentences in which the ending -s was written in the affirmative of the verb, in other cases do is used. At the same time, the ending -s in the interrogative form is not used for the main verb; this s, as it were, «runs over» into do, «turning» it into does.

Formula of the question in the present indefinite time

Do (Does) + S + V1?

Where Do (Does) is an auxiliary verb
