Inglês – Lição 11 – Simple present tense

SIMPLE PRESENT TENSE

look:

I read a good book.

She reads a good book.

No tempo presente pode-se usar o auxiliar do,does, para fazer interrogações e sentenças negativas.

Ex: do you like to read?

I don’t like to read.

 

Simple present= é formado a partir do infinitivo do verbo sem a particular to. A terceira pessoa do singular (she,he,it), no geral recebe s no final do verbo. Mas temos algumas exceções.

NOTE:

A) os verbos terminados em sh,ch,o,x,z. recebem ES na terceira pessoa do singular.

Ex : monarch=monarches              brush=brushes

fix=fixes                                  dress=dresses

 

B) os verbos terminados em y precedidos de consoante mudam y por ies.

Ex : I cry = she cries               I try= he tries

 

C) verbo to have – na terceira pessoa tem a forma has.

Ex : I have a ball.              She has a doll.
