Simple Present in sentences The students run in the play ground. This is an action that occurs every day. The subject is plural. Do not add s to the verb. Dennis makes his bed in the morning. This is a habit. It is the present tense. The subject is singular, so add s to the verb. Her aunt Sally teaches the first grade. This is an unchanging situation. This verb makes the ch sound at the end, so add es to the verb.

To be: Simple Present To be Singular subject Yellow is my favorite color I I am a student. He, she, it It is a nice day. Plural subject Men are athletes, too. They, We They are coming. You (takes a plural verb) You are my friend.
