Simple Present Tense
subject    + auxiliary verb    + main verb
                    do                base
Affirmative     Interrogative     Negative
I think     Do I think ?     I do not think.
You think     Do you think?     You don t think.
he, she, it thinks     Does he, she, it think?     He, she, it doesn t think.
we think     Do we think?     We don t think.
you think     Do you think?     You don t think.

Look at these examples with the main verb be. Notice that there is no auxiliary:
    subject    main verb          
+    I        am         French.
   You, we, they        are         French.
    He, she, it         Is         French.
-    I        am            not old.
  You, we, they        are                     not old.
    He, she, it         Is            not old.
?    Am    I         late?
    Are    you, we, they         late?
    Is    he, she, it         late?   

Note:
1.    he, she, it: in the third person singular the verb always ends in -s:
he wants, she needs, he gives, she thinks.
2.    Negative and question forms use DOES (=the third person of the auxiliary DO ) + the infinitive of the verb.
He wants. Does he want? He does not want.
3.    Verbs ending in -y : the third person changes the -y to -ies:
fly  flies, cry  cries
Exception: if there is a vowel before the -y:
play  plays, pray  prays
4.    Add -es to verbs ending in:-ss, -x, -sh, -ch:
he passes, she catches, he fixes, it pushes
Examples:
1. Third person singular with s or -es
•    He goes to school every morning.
•    She understands English.
•    It mixes the sand and the water.
•    He tries very hard.
•    She enjoys playing the piano.

BE CAREFUL! The simple present is not used to express actions happening now.
Examples:
1.    For habits
He drinks tea at breakfast.
She only eats fish.
They watch television regularly.
2.    For repeated actions or events
We catch the bus every morning.
It rains every afternoon in the hot season.
They drive to Monaco every summer.
3.    For general truths

Her mother is Peruvian.
4.    For instructions or directions
Open the packet and pour the contents into hot water.
You take the No.6 bus to Watney and then the No.10 to Bedford.
5.    For fixed arrangements

6.    With future constructions
