3  Present Simple (1) (I know,I don’t know) 

1 We form the Present Simple like this: 

POSITIVE
Singular	I know.
	You know.
	He/she/it knows.
Plural	We know.
	You know.
	They know.

I know the answer. 

She starts work at 9.30. 

We add -s after he/she/it: 

I start→ he starts                             I live→ she lives 

If a verb ends in –ch ,-o ,-sh , or  -ss , we add –es after he/she/it: 

I watch→he watches	You do→he does
They go→it goes	We wash→she washes

If a verb ends in a consonant (b,c,d etc.) + y (e.g.study) , we use –ies after he/she/it: 

I study→he studies                          I fly→it flies 

( For more examples,see Table B, page 94.) 

2 Now look at these examples of the negative: 

I don’t like that music. 

He doesn’t listen to his teacher. 

NEGATIVE
Full form	Short form
I do not know.	I don’t know.
You do not know.	You don’t know.
He/she/it
does not know.	He doesn’t know.
We do not know.	We don’t know.
You do not know.	You don’t know.
They do not know.	They don’t know.

  

Note that we say: 

He does not know.  (Not He does not knows.) 

3 We use the Present Simple:

He plays golf every day.
