PRESENT SIMPLE – Wyjaśnienie po polsku

Kiedy używamy Present Simple?

Present Simple uzywamy do opisywania rutyny i nawyków — rzeczy, które robimy regularnie. To jest główny czas do mówienia o codziennym dniu!

Uzywamy go gdy: opisujemy rutyne (I wake up at 7 AM) / mowimy o nawykach (She drinks coffee every morning) / opisujemy fakty (Water boils at 100 degrees)

Zdania twierdzace (Affirmative)

W trzeciej osobie liczby pojedynczej (he, she, it) dodajemy do czasownika -s lub -es!

watch — watches | go — goes | study — studies (y — ies) | drink — drinks

I wake up at 7 AM. (Wstaje o 7:00.)

She wakes up at 7 AM. (Ona wstaje o 7:00.) — dodajemy -s!

He watches TV in the evening. (On ogladac TV wieczorem.) — dodajemy -es!

Przeczenia i Pytania (Negative and Questions)

TypBudowaPrzyklad
