I Love You Present Tense.-John Greer

Simple Present Tense

1. Simple Present Tense:

Key: The present tense is the base of the verb. So, subject is followed by ‘be’ form or verb present tense but if the subject is third person- the verb is followed by ‘s’ or ‘es’.

Example: 

• I work in IT Department.
• She works in IT department.

When this form of the present tense comes in use:

• when something is true in the present
• frequency of events.
• Something that denotes a fact
• something that is fixed in the future.
