PRESENT SIMPLE
AFIRMATIVE
The present simple affirmative is used to talk about habitual actions, general truths, or facts. It’s formed by using the base form of the verb for
all subjects except third person singular, where you add “s” or “es” to the verb. For example:”I eat”, “ He eats”,”she eats”,”they eat”,”we eat,”
“you eat”.

PRESENT SIMPLE NEGATIVE
To use the present simple in the negative with any verb that is different from to be, we use the auxiliary don't or doesn't, normally contracted: I
don't want that. I don't want that. We don't vote.
