How do we form the Present Simple?
To make a positive sentence in the Present Simple, we use the subject and a verb.
- For subjects I, You, We, They, use the base form of the verb. This is the verb without to. For example, work, eat, live.
- For subjects He, She, It, add -s oder -es to the end of the verb. For example, works, eats, lives.
What are the spelling rules for -s and -es?
Most verbs just add -s für He, She, It:
- walk → walks
- play → plays
If a verb ends in -ss, -sh, -ch, -x, oder -o, add -es:
- pass → passes
- wash → washes
- watch → watches
- fix → fixes
- go → goes
If a verb ends in a consonant + -y, change the -y to -ies:
- study → studies
- fly → flies
Das Verb have is special. It changes to has für He, She, It:
- I have a car.
- She has a car.

|---|---|
| I | eat |
| You | eat |
| He | eats |

A common mistake for Spanish speakers is forgetting the -s oder -es ending for He, She, It. In Spanish, verbs change for every person, but not always with a simple -s like in English.
- Incorrect: He like pizza.
- Correct: He likes pizza.
- Incorrect: She go to school.
- Correct: She goes to school.
Remember this small change is very important in English!
Häufig gestellte Fragen
When do I use the Present Simple affirmative?
You use it for actions you do every day or often (habits, routines), and for things that are always true (facts, general truths). For example, I drink water.
What is the main difference between ‘I work’ and ‘He works’?
The main difference is the -s ending. For subjects I, You, We, They, the verb stays in its base form (e.g., work). For He, She, It, you add -s oder -es (e.g., works).
Is the verb ‘to be’ different in the Present Simple?
Yes, the verb to be is irregular and has special forms: I am, You are, He/She/It is, We are, They are. It does not follow the -s rule for He/She/It.
