For example, <span data-no-translation>He works in an office.<\/span> or <span data-no-translation>She lives in Madrid.<\/span> This small change helps English speakers understand you are talking about a single person or thing in the present. It shows that the action is regular or true. Remember, the verb <span data-no-translation>have<\/span> is special; it changes to <span data-no-translation>has<\/span> for <span data-no-translation>he<\/span>, <span data-no-translation>she<\/span>, and <span data-no-translation>it<\/span>. For instance, <span data-no-translation>He has a car.<\/span> Knowing this rule is key for clear communication in English, especially when describing what people do every day.<\/div>\n<h2>When Do We Use the Present Simple?<\/h2>\n<p>We use the Present Simple to talk about things that are always true or happen regularly.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><span data-no-translation>Facts: The sun rises in the east.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span data-no-translation>Habits or routines: I drink coffee every morning.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span data-no-translation>Schedules: The train leaves at 7 PM.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>In this lesson, we focus on using the Present Simple for <span data-no-translation>he<\/span>, <span data-no-translation>she<\/span>, and <span data-no-translation>it<\/span> in positive sentences.<\/p>\n<div class=\"lc-cta lc-cta-blended\" style=\"border-radius:14px;padding:30px;margin:30px 0;text-align:center;color:#fff;background:linear-gradient(135deg,#0E63C4,#0A2540);\"><h3 style=\"color:#fff;font-size:22px;font-weight:800;margin:0 0 8px;\">\ud83c\udf93 Learn English with the Blended method<\/h3><p style=\"margin:0 0 10px;opacity:.95;\">Small groups &middot; 24\/7 AI Tutor &middot; Cambridge preparation<\/p><p style=\"margin:0 0 16px;font-size:18px;\">Plans from <strong><span class=\"woocommerce-Price-amount amount\"><bdi><span class=\"woocommerce-Price-currencySymbol\" translate=\"no\">$<\/span>39<\/bdi><\/span><\/strong> <s style=\"opacity:.6;\"><span class=\"woocommerce-Price-amount amount\"><bdi><span class=\"woocommerce-Price-currencySymbol\" translate=\"no\">$<\/span>79<\/bdi><\/span><\/s> per month<\/p><a href=\"\/\" style=\"display:inline-block;margin-top:8px;padding:13px 30px;border-radius:8px;font-weight:700;text-decoration:none;background:#fff;color:#0E63C4;\">Reserve your class<\/a><\/div>\n<h2>How Do We Form Positive Sentences with He, She, It?<\/h2>\n<p>When the subject is <span data-no-translation>he<\/span>, <span data-no-translation>she<\/span>, or <span data-no-translation>it<\/span>, we add <span data-no-translation>-s<\/span> to the end of the verb.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>For <span data-no-translation>I<\/span>, <span data-no-translation>you<\/span>, <span data-no-translation>we<\/span>, <span data-no-translation>they<\/span>, the verb stays the same: <span data-no-translation>I work.<\/span><\/li>\n<li>For <span data-no-translation>he<\/span>, <span data-no-translation>she<\/span>, <span data-no-translation>it<\/span>, we add <span data-no-translation>-s<\/span>: <span data-no-translation>He works.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>This rule is very important for correct grammar.<\/p>\n<h2>Spelling Rules for -s Endings<\/h2>\n<p>Most verbs just add <span data-no-translation>-s<\/span>.
