Sentence making method of Present Indefinite Tense :

Before making a sentence for the present tense, keep in mind these important points:

Present Indefinite Tense Example: Ali goes to school.

Use of s / es:

Ali is the subject, the Word "goes" is the Verse, and the Word "school" is the object. In the title, we put "es" in the verb because in this sentence "Ali" is singular. Always remember that we will only use s / es if the topic is singular. Unity means one. If the subject is plural it does not use "s" and "es". The plural means more than one.

Keep in mind that, we use "s" and "es" with verb when subject is singular (He, she, it, i, we, they, you, name of singular person, etc)

Use of es:

Always use "es" when the last character of the verb is "o, ch, ss, sh, x".

Example:

Ali goes to school.

the word "goes" verb. And the last character of the verb is "o" so we add "es" and "go" together to "go".

Present Indefinite Tense Examples:

The use of s / es in the present tense

We teach English.

In the example above the word "we" is plural because the word "we" contains more than one person so we do not include "s" and "es" in the verb "teach".

Note: s / es are only used if the subject is singular

Use of "s":

When the last character of verb is "o, ch, ss, xh, sh" we write "es" and when the last character of verb is not "o, ch, ss, xh, sh" we write "s" at the end of verb.

1. plays 2. stays 3. jumps 4. writes etc.

In the examples above, we use "s" after "play" because the last letters of the verb is "y" so we use "s" after "play".
