Simple Present Tense

     The simple present is a verb tense with two main uses.

Depending on the person, the simple present tense is formed by using the root form (base form) except, for third-person singular is formed by adding ‑s or ‑es to the end of root form (base form+s/es).

First-person singular       : I write
Second-person singular  : You write
Third-person singular     : He/she/it writes (note the ‑s)
First-person plural           : We write
Second-person plural      : You write
