    Kinds of Simple Present Tense Sentences

    A. Simple Present Tense Affirmative


    To form an affirmative sentence, the formula is:

    S + Verb (1) / Verb dasar / to be (is, am, are) + O


    Examples of simple present tense affirmative
     Susi Pudjiastuti is the Ministry of Maritime Affairs and Fisheries
     She reads Harry Potter books every day.
     They watch new movies every Sunday.

    B. Simple Present Tense Negative


    To form negative simple present tense sentences, usually use the addition of
    don't or doesn't before the verb, except To Be and Modal, the formula is:

    S + Don’t / Doesn’t + Verb (1) + O


    If the verb is in the form of To Be, then the formula becomes:
    S + (is, am, are) + not + O
    Examples of negative simple present tense:
     Susi Pudjiastuti is not the Ministry of Maritime Affairs and Fisheries
     She doesn’t read Harry Potter books every day.
     They don’t watch new movies every Sunday

    Notice, for the third form of the subject (she, he it), after the word don't or doesn't, the

    verb form is not added s/es.

    C. Simple Present Tense Interrogative


    To form interrogative sentences / question sentences, usually use the
    addition of do or does in front of the sentence. The formula is as follows:

    Do / Does + S + Verb 1 + O

    The word do is used when the subject is I, you, they, or we. However, the word does
    is used if the subject is in the third person (She, He, It)
    Examples of simple present tense interrogative:

     Does she read a Harry Potter book?


     Do they watch a new movie every day?
     Do you play basketball every morning?

    If the verb is in the form of To Be or Modal, then do not use the words do or does.

    example :
     Is Susi Pudjiastuti the Ministry of Maritime Affairs and Fisheries?
     Are you new staff of Wall Street English?
     Are they football fans of Persija Jakarta?
