SIMPLE PRESENT / PRESENTE SIMPLES (grammar)

                                                        SIMPLE PRESENT

Descreve um fato ou estado permanente, ou uma ação que acontece com freqüência no presente. A forma básica do presente dos verbos principais na afirmativa é a mesma do infinitivo (aquela forma que você encontra no dicionário) sem o to (to say ® say) com exceção das 3^as pessoas do singular (he/she/it) que levam um “s”:

I get up at 6 everyday.

He gets up at 8 everyday.

Nas frases negativas do presente usa-se do not = don’t, para I, You, We, They e does not = doesn’t, para He, She, It. O verbo principal seguido do auxiliar sempre fica no infinitivo sem o to:

I don’t like milk.

She doesn’t like milk.

Joe  and John don’t eat meat. They’re vegetarian.

As frases interrogativas são formadas colocando-se do ou does no início das perguntas sendo precedidos apenas por pronomes interrogativos. O verbo principal sempre fica no infinitivo sem o to. Nas respostas curtas, do-don’t, does-doesn’t substituem o verbo principal:

Do you like apples?

Does it often rain in São Paulo?

What time do you usually go to school?

Where do you go to school?

Do you speak English? Yes, I do.

Does he enjoy parties? Yes, he does.

Does he take the 10:00 am train? No, he doesn’t.
