Study Notes

Present Tenses

The present simple tense is used to talk about things we do regularly, habits, and general truths.
The present continuous tense is used to talk about things we are doing now, temporary situations, and changing circumstances.

Forming the Present Simple Tense

For the third person singular (he, she, it), we add -s or -es to the base form of the verb to form the present simple tense.

Negative Forms of the Present Tenses

The negative form of the present simple tense for I, you, we, and they is formed using do not or doesn't (short form) + the base form of the verb.
The negative form of the present continuous tense is formed using am not, is not, or are not (or ain't, isn't, or aren't in informal writing) + the present participle of the verb.
