Present simple structures



A sentence always contains the subject, verb, object and adverbial. A sentence always begins with subject and the verb. There are three main structures which we can use to make a present sentence.

These structures are:


  1. Affirmative structure
  2. Negative structure
  3. Interrogative structure



1 -Affirmative structure   


 An affirmative structure consists of:

Subject + verb + object

We can add adverbials to the structure in three difference places:

i - Subject + Adverbial+ verb + object
ii- Adverbial + Subject + verb + object
iii- Subject + verb + object + Adverbial

Examples

He eats mango.
He always eats mango.
Sometimes he eats mango.
He eats mango every day


Rule of adding s or es

If subject of a sentence is he, she, it, or a singular noun, we always add s or es to end of the verb such as, go = goes, eat = eats.


2- Negative structure


 A negative structure consists of:

Subject + do not or does not + verb + object.

Note: if subject of the sentence is he, she, it, or a singular noun, we always use “does not”.

Example:-

He dose not eat a mango.
They do not eat a mango.
We do not eat a mango.
John does not eat a mango.


3- Interrogative Structure


An interrogative structure consists of:

Does or Do + subject + very + object +?


Note: if subject of the sentence is he, she, it or a singular noun, we always use “Does”.

Example:-

Does he eat a mango?
Do they eat a mango?
Do we eat a mango?
Does John eat a mango?
