The Simple Present Tense is formed with the subject plus auxiliary verb plus main verb or just the base verb. There are three exceptions: positive sentences do not use an auxiliary, the 3rd person singular adds 's' to the main verb or 'es' to the auxiliary, and the verb 'to be' is used without an auxiliary even in questions and negatives. Examples demonstrate these rules for common verbs like 'live', 'go', 'drive', 'meet', 'work', and 'play'.

How do we make the Simple Present Tense?subject + auxiliary verb + main verb do base There are three important exceptions:For positive sentences, we do not normally use the auxiliary. For the 3rd person singular (he, she, it), we add s to the main verb or es to the auxiliary. For the verb to be, we do not use an auxiliary, even for questions and negatives.
Look at these examples:I live in New York. The Moon goes round the Earth. John drives a taxi. He does not drive a bus. We meet every Thursday. We do not work at night. Do you play football?
