Present Simple (I do/He does) 一般現(xiàn)在時(shí)
● The Present Simple tense is the most basic tense in English and uses the base form of the verb (except for the verb BE). We only conjugate the main verb by adding S/ES to the third person singular.
● 一般現(xiàn)在時(shí)是英語(yǔ)中最基本得時(shí)態(tài)，動(dòng)詞用原形即可（BE動(dòng)詞: am/is/are），當(dāng)主語(yǔ)為第三人稱單數(shù)時(shí)，在動(dòng)詞后+S/ES。
一般現(xiàn)在時(shí)肯定句、否定句和疑問(wèn)句形式：
● For positive sentences肯定句:
◇ There is no auxiliary verb.
◇ 無(wú)助動(dòng)詞。
◇ Use the base form of the verb (except for the verb BE: am/is/are). We only conjugate the main verb by adding S/ES to the third person singular.
◇ 動(dòng)詞用原形即可（BE動(dòng)詞: am/is/are），當(dāng)主語(yǔ)為第三人稱單數(shù)時(shí)，在動(dòng)詞后+S/ES。
