Answer:
The correct answer is: present tense.
Explanation:
Present Simple Tense is the base form of the verb, which is an infinitive without <em>to</em>.
For example:
I <u>live </u>here.
In the third person of the singular (she/he/it), we add an <em>–s</em>:
She <u>lives </u>in New York.
He <em>works </em>near my house.
For example:
1. (I) work
2. (You) work
3. (He/She/It) works
1. (We) work
2. (You) work
3. (They) work
The extension -s in the third person of the singular can have different forms.
If the verb ends in –ch, –sh, –x, –ss, the extension will be –es:
She <u>teaches </u>English.
He <u>kisses </u>his friend.
If the verb ends in –y and if before the consonant, –y goes into -ies:
Jane <u>cries </u>a lot.
However, if we have a vowel before the -y, there is no change:
John <u>plays </u>football.
We use do and does to make questions with the Present Simple tense:
<u>Do you live</u> here?
<u>Does she work</u> in New York?
We use do not (don't) and does not (doesn't) to make negatives:
I <u>don't have</u> any money.
She <u>doesn't have </u>any siblings.
We use the Present Simple to talk about something that regularly happens in the present and something that is always true in the Present.
For example:
I <u>play </u>football every Sunday.
I <u>am </u>a teacher.
Water <u>boils </u>at 100 °C
