English is the heart of the world; Few words with you ( Part 2a -Simple Present Tense)

Dear friends, in the last session we had discussed about ‘Persons’  which is very important topic to remember. Today, we have to see Tenses. We talk clearly on the time base.

There are two “Tenses” in English language. According to English Grammarians like David Chrystal and others. But Indians are following still three ‘Tenses’. In modern English, no future tense.

1.Present tense  2.Past Tense

3.Future Tense

From today we discuss about PRESENT TENSE. All actions are in present situations only.

Already I mentioned that,there are four parts in each sentences. Simple, Continuous, Perfect and Perfect Continuous. They are indicating the time. So, we have to observe carefully.

In four parts, simple present is in the first place. It is called indefinite sentence. Because it has no exactness. When starts and ends ?Action may be started or may not be started. This is only the statement. The structure as is follow;

Formula = Subject +Verb (1) + Object

(helping verbs are  do / does)

According to formula in the subject, persons will be there. Verbs are very important to show the action / work. Like;  come, sit, learn, read, write etc. Then object will be there.

    Two helping verbs in simple present. How to use them ? All most, people use inappropriate way. sometimes they say ” He come to home” It is absolutely wrong. Because in the place of ‘does’ form, “comes’ should be appeared. “He comes to home” is right. Do not confuse. In the place ‘Do’ we have to keep verb(1). What you want to say. It gives the meaning.

 ‘Do’ or ‘Does’ verbs are very sensitive.

Do = I, we, you, you and they.

Does =  he, she, it.

Eg :

I go to school.

I read newspaper.

I work in office.

I swim in the lake.

I call you later.

I clean the room.

We play cricket.

We prepare for exam.
