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.
