PRESENTE SIMPLE 

 Al hablar en presente hablamos  de algo que está sucediendo en este momento, ahora.

Hoy hablaremos del presente simple, su estructura, usos y ejercicios!

      La estructura de una oración en presente simple es muy fácil

               SUBJECT + VERB + COMPLEMENT

       I PLAY WITH MY DOG    (juego con mi perro)

Este es un ejemplo simple de una oracion en ''Present Simple'' donde vemos como se forma su estructura.

  Pero lo más importante que debes tener en cuenta al conformar una de estas frases es que cuando un verbo en ''Presente Simple'' está conjugado en la tercera persona del singular '' he, she o it'' se le agrega una ''s'' al final del verbo que utilizamos.

* Martin eats his lunch

*She plays with my cousin

*My dog knows some tricks 

Cuando el verbo termina en ss-sh-ch-x-o al verbo le agregamos ‘’es’’ en lugar de agregar solo una ‘’s’’

• Miss (Misses) / Extrañar (Extraña)
• Finish (Finishes) / Terminar (Termina)
• Watch (Watches) / Observar (Observa)
• Fix (Fixes) / Arreglar (Arregla)
• Go (goes) / vamos (va)

Cuando el verbo acaba en "y", precedida por una consonante, tenemos que cambiar la "y" por "i", y después añadir "es":

• Fly (Flies) / Volar (Vuela)
• Study (Studies) / Estudiar (Estudia)
