A1 Presente simple y vocabulario común
Introducing Others!

This is: Singular

These are: Plural

Simple Present Tense

 Verb To be
 Other Verbs

Verb To Be

Simple Present: Other Verbs

We need to add -S, -ES, -IES to the actions in affirmative form in third person
singular (he, she, it). We never add -S, -ES, -IES to negative or interrogative
sentences, instead we use do and does before the action.

Synthesis
  We use simple present to talk about regular or repeated actions, facts and
habits.
 We use the auxiliaries DO and DOES with other verbs, never with the verb
To Be.
 We need to add -S, -ES, -IES to the actions in affirmative form in third
person singular (he, she, it). We never add -S, -ES, -IES to negative or
interrogative sentences.

WH Questions in Simple Present

Who? Quién
Where? Dónde
When? Cuándo
What? Qué
Why? Por qué
Which? Cuál

You use “a" before words that start with a consonant sound and “an” before
words that start with a vowel sound.

Common Adjectives in English

Adjectives are words that describe the qualities or states of being of nouns:
enormous, silly, yellow, fun. These are some examples of common
adjectives:
Aburrido(a) Bored
Amigable Friendly
Caro(a) Expensive
Cerca Near
Difícil Difficult, hard
Delicioso Delicious
Divertido(a) Fun
Educado(a) Polite
Emocionado(a) Excited
Enojado(a) Angry
Fácil Easy
Feliz Happy
Feo(a) Ugly
Frio(a) Cold
Fuerte Strong
Generoso(a) Generous
Hermoso(a) Beautiful
Importante Important
Inteligente Intelligent
Joven Young
Largo(a) Long
Loco(a) Crazy

IMPORTANT NOTE:
We also use nationality adjectives to describe where people and things come from.
 Country Nationality
America American
Brazil Brazilian
Canada Canadian
China Chinese
France French
German German
y
India Indian
Ireland Irish
Italy Italian
Japan Japanese
Korea Korean
Peru Peruvian
Spain Spanish
Vietnam Vietnamese

And remember that adjectives do not have a plural form.

 You don’t say: We are happys
 You say: We are happy
The same situation happens with nationalities but there is something curious here.
We are American and we are Americans …. Are both possible but they are
different.
We are American = We are talking about our nationality. Here you can also
say “We are from America”, and both ideas have similar meanings.
We are Americans = The word “Americans” here is a noun (a proper noun),
not an adjective. Imagine you say We are doctors, or we are friends. These
are nouns, not adjectives

Simple Present - Third person singular

In the present tense we add S to the end of the verb in the 3rd person (He, She, It).
This happens in the majority of the cases.

I / you / we / they speak He / she / it speaks

I / you / we / they play He / she / it plays

I / you / we / they drink He / she / it drinks

Some verbs are irregular. In that case, you need to follow these rules:

1. If the verb ends in SS, X, CH, SH or the letter O, we add + ES.

I / you / we / they kiss He / she / it kisses

I / you / we / they fix He / she / it fixes

I / you / we / they watch He / she / it watches

I / you / we / they crash He / she / it crashes

I / you / we / they go He / she / it goes

2. If the verb ends in a Consonant + Y, we remove the Y and + IES

I / you / we / they carry He / she / it carries

I / you / we / they hurry He / she / it hurries

I / you / we / they study He / she / it studies

I / you / we / they deny He / she / it denies

Remember: the previous variations only occur in affirmative sentences.

In negative sentences and questions, we do not use S, ES, IES in the 3rd
person (He, She, It).

He / she / it speaks He / she / it doesn’t speak Does he / she / it

speak?

He / she / it kisses He / she / it doesn’t kiss Does he / she / it kiss?

He / she / it carries He / she / it doesn’t carry Does he / she / it
carry?

Ordinal numbers

We add the suffix TH to most of the cardinal numbers to transform them to

ordinal numbers. There are some exceptions and in those cases we use the
suffixes ST, ND, RD. Check the examples below and be careful with spelling.

HOW DO I USE ORDINAL NUMBERS?

 Dates: My birthday is on July 24th.
 Centuries: My grandparents lived here
in the 19th century
 Floors in a building: My office is on
the third floor.
 Order and sequence: I was the first
one in that class.
