Verbs
Grammar
Form
Simple present statements are formed with a subject and
the base form of the verb (the verb without any ending).
However, with third person singular subjects, the verb
takes an -s ending.
Affirmative statements
subject + base form of the verb
I exercise every day.
Negative statements
subject + dont + base form of the verb
I dont exercise every day.
Use
Simple present statements are used to describe regular
activities (e.g., I eat breakfast in the car.) or things that
are true all the time (e.g., I dont like mornings.). In this
lesson, the use of the simple present focuses on daily
routines.
Spelling rules
The spelling rules for the -s endings on verbs in the third
person singular are the same as for noun plurals. Here
are some rules:
Speaking naturally
-s endings of verbs
//, /l/, /m/, /n/, //, /r/, //, or /v/ ) or a vowel sound, the s
is pronounced as /z/ (e.g., listens).
When a verb ends in /s/, /z/, //, /t/, //, /d/, the syllable
/z/ is added (e.g., watches). /z/ is also pronounced /z/.

Lesson C recycles yes-no questions with be and the simple present, as well as time expressions.
1 Conversation strategy
Why say more than yes or no?
Answering a question with just yes or no can sound abrupt because
it can suggest that the listener is not interested in continuing the
conversation. Giving additional information in answer to a yes-no
question helps keep the conversation going and suggests that the
listener is interested in the conversation.

Why use Well?
People use Well when they need a little time to think before speaking
or when an answer to a yes-no question is not a simple yes or
no. Well is a very common word in spoken English. (For more
information, see Language Notes at the beginning of this unit.)
