Hi. This lesson is all
about making sentences
in the present simple
tense. I’ll show you how to
make correct sentences and
avoid mistakes in grammar
and spelling. So let’s begin.
Welcome back to my series
of lessons on the tenses.
This is part two of the
present simple tense. As
always, if you have any
questions at all, just let
me know in the comments
section below, and I will
talk to you there.
Alright, in this lesson, we
will first learn how to
make positive (or
affirmative) sentences in
the present simple tense. I
will teach you when to add
-s to a verb such as ‘He
works’, ‘She wishes’ etc.
You will also learn the
spelling rules for adding
-s to a verb. Then we’ll
look at how to make
negative sentences, and
finally we will discuss the
special case of the verb
‘be’. There are exercises
throughout this lesson, and
there’s a final quiz at the end.
OK, so how do you make a
sentence in the present
simple? I’m sure you know
the answer - you just take
a subject (like I, you, we,
they, he, she, it etc.) and
you add a verb. For
example, “I work.” And you
can add any other
information to the
sentence, like “I work as a teacher.”
You can do this with other
verbs too - “I play chess
once a week.” “I eat two
eggs for breakfast every
day.” “I love my family.”
These are all present
simple tense sentences, and
if you remember from the
previous lesson, the first
sentence is a permanent
situation, the second and
third talk about things I
do regularly (habits or
routines), and the last
sentence is a state using
the state verb ‘love’.
These are the main uses of
the present simple tense.
Now, of course, it’s easy
to make these sentences
with ‘I’ as the subject.
What about other subjects?
Well, let’s take the verb
‘work’ and try out some
other subjects. You - work.
We - work. They - work.
What about ‘Those men’?
Those men work. ‘My
friends’? Work. These
subjects are just like ‘I’.
But what happens when we
have ‘He’ as the subject?
He works. She works. It
works. That man - works.
Suzie? Works.
So you can see here that if
the subject is ‘I’, ‘You’,
‘We’, ‘They’ or any plural
noun such as ‘Those men’ or
‘My friends’ then you use
the verb in the base form
without -s. But if the
subject is ‘He’, ‘She’,
‘It’ or any singular noun
like ‘That man’ or ‘Suzie’
or any other name, then you
take the base form of the
verb and you add -s.
It’s important to know that
this -s is only used in the
present tense. It’s not
used in the past or future
- only the present. OK,
let’s now do a small
exercise with this.
There are nine sentences on
the screen. I want you to
choose the correct form of
the verb in each sentence.
Pause the video now if you
want - think about your
answers, then play the
video again and check.
Alright, let’s look at the
answers. Number one - “He
reads a lot of books.”
Number two - “Many children
play baseball.” Number
three - “You like tomato
soup.” Number four - “That
bird flies fast.” Number
five - “I teach English.”
Number six - “We live
together.” Number seven -
“She goes to college.”
Number eight - “It works
just fine.” Number nine -
“They cook very well.” Did
you get them all right?
OK, I want you to notice
something here. We’ve added
-s to some verbs. But to
the verb ‘go’, we didn’t
just add -s, we added ‘es’.
And to ‘fly’, we took out
the ‘y’ and added ‘-ies’.
Why did we do that? Well,
it’s because there are some
important spelling rules
for adding -s to a verb.
Let’s talk about those now.
To most verbs, we just add
‘s’. So verbs like ‘love’,
‘run’, ‘work’, ‘speak’,
‘want’ etc. just take an -s
at the end. To some verbs
we add ‘es’ - verbs like
‘pass’, ‘wish’, ‘search’,
‘fix’, ‘go’ and ‘do’. But
why is that? Can you guess
the rule?

Hi teacher, I really like your lessons. You make me understand more and bring my basic knowledge in English back. I come from Vietnam and now I'm in grade 9. This is the last grade in secondary school and English is one of the most important Subject of my test to become a grade 10 student. But my English is not good, especially in tenses. My sister has found you in TH-cam. I look at your list of tenses, it only has 3 videos. I know that you do your best to add more. But I really need it now. I hope to see more videos sooner. Thank you for your teaching.
I'm happy to know that you are finding the lessons helpful. I will be making more tense lessons soon :)
Great teaching. Thank you, teacher.
Sir make more videos on tenses with examples .It is helpful for beginners
I 'm honor and privilege to learn those lessons I never though to get this progress I have now because your lessons and I was not taught a decade I learned English.
Really great method, I like the way you presenting this lesson. It's much easier now to learn English. Thank you so much for sharing this valuable video. (please correct me if any tense mistake).
Question: We add a base form of the verb for "You" (which is plural).
But what if "You" is singular in a sentence? We add -s or -es depending on the verb?
(I read "you" can be singular and plural depending on the sentence. Is it right?)
You are such an awesome ESL teacher, Ganesh. The US President should recognize you as "The world's Genius ESL Teacher"!
Super continue ur lessons without break all the best sir

I'll be making all of them in time, Vipin. Have a look at the Grammar in Use series by Cambridge University Press. There are three books - Basic (Essential Grammar in Use), Intermediate (English Grammar in Use) and Advanced (Advanced Grammar in Use). They are very good for learning grammar.
Your lessons are very well presented. I teach English ...i use your lessons as a base.

i got all of em right sir , really helpful lecture sir :)
Thank you so much! Much appreciated. I hope to learn the present perfect one day, in my opinion it's the most difficult one of the present tenses.
I agree, it can be quite challenging. I will be making lessons on the present continuous first and then come to present perfect. But if there's anything particular you are finding difficult about the present perfect, let me know, and I will make a quick lesson on that :)
I don't want to bother you with too many questions because you must have a lot to do, but can you just confirm if this is correct or not.
1. For the present perfect it's about time that started somewhere in the past and is continuing up until now.
2. I can always use subject + has/have + past participle of the verb to form the present perfect in all cases.
3. The difference between present perfect and present perfect continuous is the fact that PFC has an ING ending whereas the PP has an ending with the past participle, and they also differ in time. PP for actions that have generally finished and PFC for actions that may continue for a longer period of time.
If you can confirm these 3 rules are correct, then I think I know what the PP is finally about. If it's incorrect, then I will just have to wait for your lesson about the PP haha! :)
Hi Michael, you can ask as many questions as you want :) Rule #2 is correct. 1 & 3 are generally correct but there are other uses for the present perfect that are not covered by these two rules. For example, "I've been to France three times." - This shows life experience - there's no action here that started in the past and still continues. Instead of typing up a longer response, I can take this as a lesson request and make a quick lesson on the present perfect simple and continuous tenses. I can put it out in a couple of days - would that work?
Okay I see. If I take that example you gave me there with "I've been to France three times", can we then say that it's a PP tense because it happened somewhere in the past (always unspecific time for PP if i'm not mistaken) but the action is finished. Basically I think I'm having a hard time separating PP from PPC (I can see that I wrote PFC before but that was a mistake regarding the abbreviation of present perfect continuous). Yes I'm sure it would help a ton with some material on the rest of the present tenses. I would really appreciate that! Whenever you got time! Much appreciated!
I must have missed this comment, hence the late reply. You are correct, Michael, the time is nonspecific here. Also, in "I've been to France three times" we use PP because the time period we are talking about is my life, and that time period is still unfinished (I'm alive!). Even though the actions (three visits) are finished, the time period is not. That is the connection it has to the present. I will be filming the lesson on present perfect vs. past simple on Tuesday, so that should clarify some of these points :)
Youn really are a good teacher. Thanks
