Lecture 03
Introduction: The two present tenses
Most English verbs have two present tenses. Forms like I wait, she thinks are called simple present or present simple, forms like I am waiting or she is thinking are called present progressive or present continuous. The tenses are used in different ways.
A/ Form
a)Positive statements
I /we/ you /they eat chocolate
He/ she/ It eats chocolate
b) Negative statements
I/ we/ you/ they do not eat chocolate
He/ she/ It does not eat chocolate
c ) Questions
Do I /we/ you /they eat chocolate?
Does he / she / It eat chocolate?
d) Short answers
Yes I/ we / they/ you do No, I/ you/ we /they do not
Yes, he / she/ it does No, he / she / it does not
B/Spelling of the third person singular forms
The regular spelling of the –s inflection is*s
Examples: run/ runs work/ works revere/ reveres
Here are additional spelling rules for particular:
If the verb ends in –s,-z, -x, -ch, or –sh, add –es to the infinitive.
Examples: Misses, buzzes, fixes, watches, pushes.
For some verbs ending in –o, add –es to the infinitive.
Examples: go/goes do/does
Derivatives with go and do also have –es: examples: undergo/undergoes, overdo/ overdoes.
If the verb ends in a consonant plus y , change the y to I and add –es
C/ Pronunciation of third person singular forms.
The pronunciation of the-es ending depends on the sound that comes before it. It follows exactly the same rules as the pronunciation of plural es.
D/ Use: we use the present
With routine or regular repeated actions ( often with adverbs of frequency like: always , often, Sometimes, never, every Saturday morning, once a week.)
Example: we go to Greece for our holidays every summer
