• Fem servir el Present Simple per accions que es fan habitualment i per rutines.

Ex. I play football every Sunday.

Jugo a futbol cada setmana.

Mary does her homework everyday.

La Mary fa els seus deures cada dia.

Formació del verb

• Formar el Present Simple és molt senzill. Hem d’agafar la forma de l’infinitiu i conjugar-la:

To play

I playYou playHe playsShe playsIt playsWe playYou playThey play

EXERCISES• Quines formes del verb eren diferents?• Exercise 1 Make sentences using the pictures and

the verbs as in the example: John/have breakfast: -John has breakfast every

morning. -John has cereals for breakfast every morning.

My friend/ play: My parents/ watch TV:

Tom/go to school: My brother/listen to:

Tercera persona: third person

• Com hem vist a la formació del verb, la tercera persona (he, she, it) és l’ única que varia:

• He plays, she comes, it eats: afegim una “s” a l’infinitiu.

• Però hi ha uns quants casos especials:

• Quan l’infinitiu acaba en -s,-z,-sh,-tch,-ss fa la tercera persona en -es:

• watch watches• pass passes• crash crashes

• També fem servir la terminació -es quan l’infinitiu acaba en consonant + o:

• go goes• do does

• Finalment, la terminació -es es fa servir quan el verb acaba en consonant + y. En aquest cas la y es transforma en i:

• carry carries• marry marries
