Para hacer el presente simple se debe agregar una "s" al final del verbo de la tercera persona del singular. Al resto de las personas, no se le agrega nada.
| to eat 'comer' | to talk 'hablar' | to play 'jugar' | to drink 'beber' | |
| I | eat | talk | play | drink |
| You | eat | talk | play | drink |
| He/She/It | eats | talks | plays | drinks |
| We | eat | talk | play | drink |
| They | eat | talk | play | drink |
Ejemplos:
- You work in a company 'Tú trabajas en una empresa'
- He drinks a lot of water 'Él toma mucha agua'
Si el verbo termina en "y" cuando antes de ésta se sitúa una consonante se cambia ésta por una "i" y se le agrega la desinencia "es" en la tercera persona del singular.
