VERBAL TENSES

Let's start today a series of verbal tenses, which I hope will serve you to use them correctly and confidently in your speaking and writing. Let's start with the present simple tense.

The main thing to remember here is the third person singular, which adds an -s/-es in the affirmative, and does/doesn't in the interrogative and negative forms. A typical mistake is to keep the -s/-es in the interrogative or negative form. *Does he reads a lot? That is not correct. If the -s/-es is somewhat in the auxiliary verb, we do not repeat it in the main verb: Does he read a lot?
