- Today we are going to
discuss about “Simple
Present Tense of Verb”
 - First, we need to discuss
what is a simple present
tense.
Simple Present Tense – expresses habitual
action, present state or a condition, future
action and general truths or facts.

- In simple present tense all

we have to do is to add an
“s” or “es” to the verb

- But we also have to make

sure that the subject should
agree with the verb

- - If the subject is singular,

verb should be singular also
or with “s”, but if the
subject is plural, verb
should be plural or without
“s” or the base form.

Example of Singular Subject and Verb

1. Jack (singular subject) enjoys (singular
verb) playing golf every Sunday.
2. Regina (singular subject) loves (singular
verb) playing with her dog.

Example of Plural Subject in Base form (Verb)

1. Teachers (plural subject) love (base
form) teaching.
2. Dancers (plural subject) perform (base
form) a fantastic performance.
 - Did you understand? - Yes sir!!

Now we are going to read a short story then

after which we are going to answer question
about it.

- Are you ready?

- Yes Sir!!!
