Simple Present

El tiempo Presente Simple es el tiempo de verbo que se utiliza, entre otras cosas, paraexpresar acciones, eventos o situaciones al momento en que se habla. Por ejemplo:

Ann is a teacher.

Ann es maestra.

She lives in London.Vive en Londres.

My brother wears glasses.i hermano usa anteojos.

Este tiempo tambi!n se usa para expresar acciones habituales, que transcurren con cierta"recuencia. Por ejemplo:

Ann gets up at 7.

Ann se despierta a las #.

She usually has breakfast at 8.$sualmente desa%una a las &.

She never arrives late.'unca lle(a tarde.

Sin saberlo, en las lecciones anteriores %a ha aprendido a conju(ar los verbos en este tiempo.

)ecordemos: Al conju(ar los verbos re(ulares en tiempo presente, debe a(re(arse para latercera persona del sin(ular *+e She -t una /s/ al verbo base, mientras que para las dem0spersonas el verbo permanece i(ual.

- livein London.1ou livein London.+e lives in London.She lives in London.2e livein London.3he% livein London.

Pero cuando el verbo base termina en vocal *por ejemplo, /to (o/ se a(re(a /es/ para latercera persona del sin(ular:

- goto the cinema.

1ou goto the cinema.+e goes to the cinema.She goes to the cinema.2e goto the cinema.3he% goto the cinema.

Para realizar pre(untas en este tiempo verbal, se usa el auxiliar DOo DOS para la tercerapersona del sin(ular, como %a hemos visto. 1 se contesta con!es " #o se(uido de la persona% su auxiliar correspondiente a"irmativo o ne(ativo.

Do%ou live in London41es, - do.
