The Present Simple

The present simple tense describes routines, habits, and general truths.
Structure for positive sentences: Subject + base form of the verb (e.g., "I play").
Example: "I play the drums." (indicates a regular action)
Structure for negative sentences: Subject + do/does not + base form of the verb (e.g., "I don’t play").
Example: "I don’t play football." (indicates a non-activity)
Third-person singular forms add "s" or "es" (e.g., "She plays chess").
Example: "She doesn’t go swimming." (indicates a lack of regular activity in third person)
