Explanation:
Present tense verbs in English can have three forms:
the base form: go, see, talk, study, etc.
the base form plus 's' (or 'es') for 3rd person singular: goes, sees, asks, studies. (For example, Joe goes to school, Ann sees a bird, Bill talks a lot, but he also studies.)
and the base form plus 'ing': going, seeing, talking, studying. (With a form of 'to be,' this is the present continuous tense.)
This page has a short explanation, some examples, and a chance for you to practice them.
The simple present tense is the way to talk about facts. It tells what is always, sometimes, or never true, or what happens over and over.
It uses the base form of the verb (the infinitive without ‘to’) except in the third person singular. 3rd person singular (he, she, or it-- one person or thing) ends in -s.
For example, we say 'I study' or 'you study, but 'John studies.' Sally and Susan study too. The simple present usually adds -s or -es to the base form. Exceptions:
the verb ‘to have,’ (he or she has), &
the verb ‘to be,’ (he or she is.)
Negatives and questions normally use the helping verb ‘to do’ plus the base form of the main verb. See examples below.
We use the present continuous tense to talk about something that is happening right now. (I’m typing; you’re reading; my husband is driving and my daughter is sleeping.) We form it using the verb 'to be' with the ‘ing’ form (present participle) of the main verb, as shown.
Examples of Present Tense Verbs in Sentences
Picture of university students talking, using the example conversation below. (
103Save
Joan: “You look tired. Are you getting enough sleep?”
Bob: “No, I’m not. I wish I could sleep!”
Sue: “Bob is tired because he works too much. He has a term paper that’s due soon, and he isn’t sure he can finish in time. So instead of sleeping he’s writing for hours every night!”
Joan: “That’s too bad! I hope you finish soon, Bob!”
Bob: “So do I! I’m almost done now! Then I plan to get back to normal. I usually sleep six or seven hours a night, but I think I might sleep twelve hours to catch up!”
Joan: “Wow! Only a baby sleeps twelve hours at a time!”

There are up to five forms for each verb: root, third-person singular, present participle, past, and past participle.
Root Form of the Verb
The root form of a verb is the base form of the word. Roots have not been conjugated and do not include prefixes or suffixes.
The root form of the verb is the same as the infinitive form with “to” removed. See the examples below:
to see – see
to be – be
to wear – wear
to go – go
The root form of a verb is used to create other forms of the verb when conjugated. This is always true with regular verbs, but may not apply with irregular verbs, depending on the tense. The examples below illustrate this concept.
I am going to school.
(Root: go)
What did you do yesterday?
(Root: do)
The girl showed her mother the picture she drew in school.
(Root: show)
He had eaten three hamburgers.
(Root: eat)
