Una vez que hemos analizado el presente simple del verbo to be y have got, nos centramos en la formación del presente simple del resto de los verbos en inglés. Para ello, vamos a utiliza el verbo WALK (caminar/pasear) como ejemplo:
Forma afirmativa
I walk (Yo camino)
You walk (Tu caminas)
He walks (El camina)
She walks (Ella camina)
It walks (El o ella camina) - Para animales u objetos
We walk - (Nosotros caminamos)
You walk - (Vosotros camináis)
They walk (Ellos caminan)
Como se puede observar la 3º persona del singular (he, she, it) añade una "-s" al verbo. Si un verbo acaba en s, ss, sh, ch, o, x -se añade "-es" al verbo. Si un verbo acaba en "-y" precedida de consonante añadimos "-ies". Observa los siguiente ejemplos:
I kiss - he kisses
I wash - he washes
I watch TV - she watches TV
I go - she goes
I mix - he mixes
