Simple Present Tense Fundamentals
📌 Simple Present Tense is used to express repeated actions (like waking up or eating breakfast) or to state universal facts (e.g., the sun rises in the East).
📌 The core structure uses the first form of the verb (Verb 1) for subjects like I, You, We, and They.
📌 For the third-person singular subjects (He, She, It, or one person), the verb requires an ending of -s or -es.

Rules for Verb Endings (-s, -es, or -ies)
📌 Add -es if the verb ends in -o, -z, -ch, -sh, -ss, or -x (e.g., *go* becomes *goes*, *fix* becomes *fixes*).
📌 Change the final -y to -i and add -es if the preceding letter is a consonant (e.g., *carry* becomes *carries*, *study* becomes *studies*).
📌 For verbs ending in a vowel + y, simply add -s (e.g., *play* becomes *plays*). If none of the above conditions are met, just add -s.

Forming Negative and Interrogative Sentences
📌 To form negative sentences for I, You, We, They, use do not (don't) before the base verb (e.g., *We don't study English on Tuesday*).
📌 For He, She, It, use does not (doesn't), and the verb returns to its base form (e.g., *He doesn't cook*).
📌 Yes/No questions start with the auxiliary verb Do or Does placed at the beginning of the sentence (e.g., *Do they go to the office on Friday?*).

Wh-Questions and Practical Application
❓ For "Wh-" questions (What, When, Why, How), the question word is followed by do or does, determined by the subject (e.g., *What does he usually cook every day?*).
🗣️ The most important key to learning is constant practice; focus on communicating your thoughts in English, even if grammar is imperfect initially.
🧠 Do not get overly burdened by complex grammar rules like tenses; communication is the primary goal, and correct structure will follow with practice.

Key Points & Insights
➡️ Simple Present Tense covers habits, routines, and established facts.
➡️ Remember the core distinction: I/You/We/They use base Verb 1; He/She/It uses Verb 1 + s/es.
➡️ Always revert to the base form of the verb when using auxiliaries like *don't* or *doesn't* in negative or question structures.
➡️ Prioritize speaking over perfect grammar; successful communication means being understood.
