Present Simple Tense Structure

Understand the present simple tense structure and conjugation with this easy-to-follow video.

The present simple tense is used to describe habitual actions, general truths, and fixed arrangements. This video simplifies the present simple tense structure, making it easier for you to learn and practice.

The basic structure for the present simple tense is: Subject (S) + Verb (V) + o/s/es

Here are some examples to illustrate this:

• I know
• You know
• He knows
• She knows
• It knows
• We know
• They know

For most subjects, the verb remains in its base form (know). However, for the third person singular (he, she, it), you add an "s" or "es" to the verb (knows).

Understanding this simple rule helps you form correct sentences in the present simple tense. For example:

• "I know the answer".
• "She knows how to solve the problem".
• "They know the way to the park".

By mastering the present simple tense, you can express everyday activities and routines more accurately. Watch the video and practice forming sentences using this tense.
