"The Present Simple Tense"

The present tense is the base form of the verb:

I work in London. 

But with the third person singular (she/he/it), we add an –s:

She works in London.

Look at these questions:

Do you play the piano?

Where do you live?

Does Jack play football?

Where does he come from?

Do Rita and Angela live in Manchester?

Where do they work?

We use do and does to make questions with the present simple. We use does for the third person singular (she/he/it) and do for the others.

Look at these sentences:

I like tennis but I don't like football. (don't = do not)

I don't live in London now.

I don't play the piano but I play the guitar.

They don't work at the weekend.

John doesn't live in Manchester. (doesn't = does not)

Angela doesn't drive to work. She goes by bus.

Goodbye!!!
