For most subjects like <span data-no-translation>I<\/span>, <span data-no-translation>You<\/span>, <span data-no-translation>We<\/span>, and <span data-no-translation>They<\/span>, you use the base form of the verb, for example, <span data-no-translation>I walk<\/span> or <span data-no-translation>They play<\/span>. However, for <span data-no-translation>He<\/span>, <span data-no-translation>She<\/span>, and <span data-no-translation>It<\/span>, you must add <span data-no-translation>-s<\/span> or <span data-no-translation>-es<\/span> to the verb. For example, <span data-no-translation>He walks<\/span> or <span data-no-translation>She plays<\/span>. This simple rule is very important for basic communication in English, letting you share information about yourself and others clearly and correctly in everyday conversations.<\/div>\n<h2>What is the Present Simple Affirmative?<\/h2>\n<p>We use the Present Simple to talk about things that happen regularly.
