THE SIMPLE PRESENTREGRA GERAL• Na maioria dos verbos, acrescentamos "S" aos verbos conjugados na 3a pessoa do singular  ( He, She, It ). Exemplos:I work	He worksYou play	She playsWe run	It runsSPECIAL CASESHá, contudo, alguns casos especiais. Vejamos:• Verbos terminados em "Y", quando este estiver precedido de consoante, trocamos o "Y" por "IES", ao conjugar a 3a pessoa do singular ( He, She, It ). Exemplos:I cry	She criesYou fly	It fliesWe try	He tries• Verbos terminados em "O, SH, CH, X, Z, SS" ao conjugar a 3a pessoa do singular ( He, She, It ), acrescentamos "ES". Exemplos:I do	She doesYou wash	It washesWe fix	He fixesThey boss	She bossesI watch	He watchesYou buzz	It buzzes  As regras citadas até aqui não se aplicam aos verbos TO BE, TO HAVE e aos Modal Verbs ( que serão vistos em mais detalhes posteriormente ). Os verbos "TO BE" e "TO HAVE", no presente simples, são conjugados assim:TO BEI amYou areHe isShe is It isWe areYou areThey are	TO HAVEI haveYou haveHe hasShe hasIt hasWe haveYou haveThey have   As regras de conjugação na 3a pessoal do singular ( He, She, It ) só serão usadas em frases afirmativas. Em frases negativas e interrogativas o verbo não sofrerá qualquer alteração ou acréscimo na 3a pessoa do singular.   THE NEGATIVE FORM• Usamos o auxiliar "DON'T" ( para I, YOU, WE, THEY ) e "DOESN'T" ( para HE, SHE, IT ). Ao formarmos frases negativas na 3a pessoa do singular, utilizando "doesn't", o verbo não sofrerá qualquer acréscimo ou alteração. Examples:a ) He doesn't go to school by bus.                   b ) Martha doesn't wash clothes at home. c ) It doesn't fly very fast. 	d ) You don't play well.e ) We don't have money.f ) They don't like the Ramones.   O verbo "TO BE" não utiliza o auxílio de "DON'T" ou "DOESN'T".THE INTERROGATIVE FORM• Usamos o auxiliar "DO" ( para I, YOU, WE, THEY ) e "DOES" ( para HE, SHE, IT ). Ao formarmos frases interrogativas na 3a pessoa do singular, utilizando "does", o verbo não sofrerá qualquer acréscimo ou alteração. Examples: a ) Does she live near here?                   b ) Does he work on Sundays? c ) Does it have airbags? 	d ) Do you have a sister?e ) Do we play well?f ) Do they study on weekends?   O verbo "TO BE" não utiliza o auxílio de "DO" ou "DOES".EXERCISES:	 1 ) The correct interrogative form of " Bob waxes his car every Sunday" is:a ) Does Bob waxes his car every Sunday?                        b ) Does Bob wax his car every Sunday?c ) Bob waxes his car every Sunday?                                  d ) Do Bob wax his car every Sunday?e ) Bob wax his car every Sunday?2 ) The correct affirmative form of "Does Karen polish her furniture?" is:a ) Karen polish her furniture.				b ) Does Karen polish her furniture.c ) Karen is polish her furniture. 			d ) Karen polishing her furniture.e ) Karen polishes her furniture.3 ) The correct negative form of  "Luke does yoga to relax" is:a ) Luke doesn't yoga to relax.			b ) Luke not does yoga to relax.c ) Luke doesn't do yoga to relax. 		            d ) Luke don't do yoga to relax.e ) Luke does yoga to relax not. 4 ) Mark the incorrect  alternative: a ) Judy and Leslie are American?		            b ) Mary isn't studying English here.	c ) The children love baseball.			d ) The American people isn't happy with Bush. e ) Is the child very sick?5 ) The verbs "to go, to stay, to fly, to work" , in “He, She, It”  of the Simple Present, are:a ) goes, stayes, flies, works				b ) goes, stays, flyes, worksc ) goes, stays, flies, workes				d ) goes, stayies, flyies, works		e ) goes, stays, flies, works 6 ) The negative form of  "He speaks Russian"  is:a ) He doesn't speaks Russian.			b ) He didn't speak Russian. 	c ) He didn't speak Russian. 				d ) He doesn't speak Russian.		e ) He doesn't spoke Russian.GABARITO1 ) B2 ) E3 ) C4 ) A - Está errada porque em interrogativas com o verbo TO BE este sempre vem antes do sujeito.
