Uso de presente simple en oraciones afirmativas, negativas e interrogativas

El uso del tiempo presente simple tiene diferentes maneras según se trate de oraciones afirmativas, negativas o interrogativas.

Oraciones afirmativas con distintos verbos

Estructura gramatical:

  • I/You/We/They + verb + Complement
  • He/She/It + Verb + s/es/ies + Complement

Ejemplos de oraciones afirmativas:

  • I watch TV.
  • You watch TV.
  • He watches TV.
  • She watches TV.
  • You watch TV.
  • We watch TV.
  • They watch TV.

Cuando se trata de los pronombres he, she, it, al verbo se le agrega una letra o un grupo de letras (s, es, ies), por ejemplo:

  1. I play soccer.
    She plays soccer.

  2. You listen to music.
    He listens to music.

  3. We watch TV.
    She watches TV.

  4. They study English.
    He studies English.

Importante: Esta situación solo ocurre en las oraciones afirmativas. Para saber las letras que se deben agregar existen las siguientes reglas:

  1. A la mayoría de los verbos solo se le agrega la letra “s”, por ejemplo:
  • Read - Reads

  • Run – Runs

  • Cook – Cooks

  • Love – Loves

  1. Cuando el verbo termina en la consonante “y”, se cambia la letra “y” por “ies”, por ejemplo:
  • Try – Tries

  • Carry – Carries

  • Study – Studies

  1. Cuando el verbo termina en las consonantes “s”, “z”, “ch” o “x”, se agrega “es”, por ejemplo:
  • Miss – misses

  • Buzz – Buzzes

  • Catch – Catches

  • Fix – Fixes

  1. Hay algunas excepciones a estas reglas, por ejemplo:
  • Go – goes

  • Do – does

  • Have - has

Let’s practice:

  1. We live in Colombia.
    He/she lives in Colombia

  2. I work at Platzi.
    He/she works at Platzi.

  3. They play the guitar.
    He/she plays the guitar.

  4. You eat pizza.

Oraciones negativas con distintos verbos

Estructura gramatical:

  • I/You/We/They + do not / don’t + Verb + Complement
  • He/She/It + does not / doesn’t + Verb + Complement

En las oraciones negativas del tiempo presente simple se usa el verbo auxiliar Do / Does.

Ejemplos de oraciones negativas:

  1. She plays soccer.
    She doesn’t play soccer (fíjate que el verbo retoma su forma original sin la letra s al final).

  2. I listen to music.
    I don’t listen to music.

  3. He cooks very well.
    He doesn’t cook very well.

  4. They write letters.
    They don’t write letters.

Oraciones interrogativas con distintos verbos

Estructura gramatical:

  • Do + I/You/We/They+ Verb + Complement + ?
  • Does + He/She/It + Verb + Complement + ?

En las oraciones interrogativas del tiempo presente simple el verbo auxiliar do/does se coloca al principio de la oración.

Ejemplos de oraciones interrogativas:

  1. Do you speak English?
    Yes, I do.
    No, I don’t speak English.

  2. Do you walk to the park?
    Yes, I do.

En conclusión, las tres modalidades del tiempo presente simple son:

La verdad que excelente. Yo siempre confundo las terceras personas. Un gran video, una nueva manera de hacer las cosas

La traducción creo que es automática y está mal, o sea, los subtítulos. Ya he visto varios errores, y aquí al inicio pone “Simple present with other birds” en vez de birds (pájaros) son verbs de verbos. Ténganlo en cuanta para que no se confundan.

The verbs in english going to change in the affirmative form for the simple present only with the third sigular person (He, She, It). There are three rules.

  1. If the verb ends in S,SH,CH,X,Z or Consonat + O;
    add -s
    Example:
    She goes to school.
    He washes his clothes.

  2. If the verb ends in Consonant + Y
    Remove - Y; Add IES.
    Example:

He tries to do it.

  1. For all the rest of verbs (Except To Be and To Have).
    Add -s
    Example:
    She reads a book.
    He writes a poem.
  1. No, I don’t
  2. Yes, I do
  3. Maybe, I have apartment and house
  4. Yes, I do
