INTRODUCTION ON PRESENT SIMPLE TENSE

 

It is used to talk about general truths. It is also used to talk about time-tabled future events. Unlike other tense forms, the simple present tense has a special –s marking when the subject is a singular noun or a third person pronoun.

The simple present expresses an action in the present taking place once, never or several times. It is also used for actions that take place one after another and for actions that are set by a timetable or schedule. The simple present also expresses facts in the present.

Examples of the Present Simple

1. The sun sets in the west.

2. We produce lasers for cosmetic surgery.

3. They move into their new home next week.

4. So, I go to Mr. D and say “I deserve a better mark in this class”.

5. Jones stops in mid-court and passes the ball to Schuster.
