Resumen

Present Simple: Conjugations and Exceptions

Puntos clave

El Present Simple se utiliza para hacer descripciones o hablar sobre hábitos. La mayoría de verbos pertenecen al grupo de los regular verbs, por lo que todos se conjugan de la misma forma. Sin embargo, hay algunas excepciones: los irregular verbs.

Info 1: When to use the Present Simple

El Present Simple se utiliza para hablar de:

Descripciones de personas, cosas o lugares.
Hábitos, rutinas o acciones que se repiten con frecuencia.
Eventos futuros con horario establecido.

Ejemplos

A good thing about my sister is that she is really sociable.

Every day I wake up at 7 am. and I take the bus at 8.45 am.

I have a dentist appointment tomorrow at 3 pm.

Info 2: Conjugate regular verbs in Present Simple

Para conjugar verbos regulares en Present Simple tendrás que dejar el verbo en infinitivo y añadir una "-s" al final cuando se trate de la 3ª persona del singular.

Affirmative	Negative	Interrogative
I talk	I do not talk	Do I talk?
You talk	You do not talk	Do you talk?
He talks	She does not talk	Does it talk?
We talk	We do not talk	Do we talk?
You talk	You do not talk	Do you talk?
They talk	They do not talk	Do they talk?

Ejemplos

I cook dinner on Fridays

She cooks dinner on Fridays

I don't cook on Fridays

Info 3: Conjugate irregular verbs in Present Simple

Hay una lista de irregular verbs, pero dos de los más utilizados son el verbo To Be y el verbo To Have. Ambos tienen algunas excepciones al conjugarlos que verás a continuación.

VErb to be

El verbo To Be significa ser/estar. Este verbo es un verbo irregular, por lo que no sigue la regla general a la hora de conjugarlo.

AFFIRMATIVE	NEGATIVE	INTERROGATIVE
I am from Spain	I am not from Spain	Am I from Spain?
You are from Spain	You are not from Spain	Are you from Spain?
He/She/It is from Spain	He/She/It is not from Spain	Is He/She/It from spain?
We are from Spain	We are not from Spain	Are we from Spain?
You are from Spain	You are not from Spain	Are you from Spain?
They are from Spain	They are not from Spain	Are they from Spain?

Recuerda que: Para negar puedes contraer (To Be en Present Simple + not).

Ejemplos

He is not waiting for the bus He isn't waiting for the bus
They are not very honest They aren't very honest

VERB TO HAVE

El verbo To Have significa tener. Al igual que el verbo To Be, también es irregular y se conjuga de manera diferente.

AFFIRMATIVE	NEGATIVE	INTERROGATIVE
I have	I have not	Have I?
You have	You have not	Have you ?
He/She/It has	He/She/It has not	Has He/She/It ?
We have	We have not	Have we?
You have	You have not	Have you?
They have	They have not	Have they ?

Recuerda que: La 3ª persona del singular se forma con has, no con have.

Info adicional 1: Other exceptions

Cuando tienes que conjugar la 3ª persona del singular, tienes que tener en cuenta:

Si el verbo termina en "-y" y no hay una vocal delante de ella, hay que cambiar esa "-y" por "-i" y añadir "-es" detrás.
Si el verbo termina en "-ss", "-sh", "-ch" o "-x", hay que añadir "-es" al final.
En las formas negativa e interrogativa no es necesario añadir una "-s" detrás del verbo, basta con cambiar "do" por "does".

Ejemplos

She tries not to, but she often says things she doesn't mean

He watches TV after doing homework

He brushes and kisses his dog every night
