Present Indefinite Tense : Structure / Formula


Till now we have understood the usages or the defintions. now we should understand how to make example sentences to do that we need to see the structure of making examples which is

Subject:

Means Who or What Performs The Action. It Can Be ( He , She , it , They , You , We ) or Anyname - For Ex: - Naveed, Computer, English , He , She

Verb:

"A Word Which Shows An Action Is Called Verb" - For Example: (Dance , Read , Listen , Come)

Object:

In easy words we say that an object gives us the full meaning of a sentence
Example: "He plays" - in this sentence we don't know what does he play? either football , cricket - because this sentence is without object Means (He is a ->Subject , Play is a ->Verb) but does not have an object.
Example No 2 : "He plays football" - this sentence Is with object Means (He is a ->Subject , Play is a ->Verb , Football is an ->Object) and because we have the object (which is Football) giving us the full meaning and sense - now we know he plays football not cricket or anyother game

Present Indefinite Tense : Rules


Now we are just one step away from making sentences. iam teaching you this because this is the rule which most of the students miss and this is very important that is changing the verb means either put (s , es, ies) at the end of the verb only when the subject is third person singular Just for your better understanding iam explaining it in two parts
  1. What Is Third Person Singular?
  2. Verb Rule

Part : No 1 - What Is Third Person Singular?

By the word we can understand that singular means single (1) (one thing) and in present tense - When we say (He , She , it) so it means
He - means (One Male / Boy) ,
She - means (One Women / Girl) ,
It - means (One none-living thing like - Computer , Mobile , Car )
Naveed - means (One person it does not means more than one) ok!!!
So whenever we have these words as a subject in our sentence we call them Third Person Singular
For Example: "He plays cricket" - In this sentence the subject is "He -> Is A Subject" therefore is a third person singular now we know what is third person singular so let's learn the rules of verbs

Part : No 2 - Verb Rule


We have three(3) rules for verb in Present Indefinite Tense
  1. Verb Ends With (Y) then we add ("ies")
  2. Verb Ends With (-O, -S, -X, -CH, -SH) Add ("es")
  3. Verb Ends With Not From Any Of The Above Then We Add (S)

Verb Ends With (y) Then We Add ("ies")


Very simple - First we will see is the subject in our sentence is third person singular (Means - He , She ,it) or anyname then the next step is we see verb is ending with which character if you find the last charater y then this rule will be appiled that is (replace y with ies)For Example:He Try will become - "He Tires" below image is showing exactly what iam saying

Verb Ends With (-O, -S, -X, -CH, -SH) Then We Add ("es")


In the first condtion we learnt if the verb ends with y then we will add ies . in this second condition we see if the verb is ending with (-O, -S, -X, -CH, -SH) then we replace it with "es"
For Example:He go - [Will become] - He goes because the last character in this verb(Go) is (O) and it matches our second condition which says any verb ends with (O) (+) Add es Thefore - [ He go - became - He goes] you can also understand it by seeing this below image

Verb Ends With Not With Any of the Condition - Then We Add ("es")


Till now we have seen if ends with this then do this but what if the verb does not end with any of the condition and still is third person singular? - To slove this problem in english grammar gives us a solution which is - just add (S) Simple
For Example:He Come - [Will become] - He Comes because this is the third condition which says if the "Subject is third person singular And the verb is not ending with any condition then just add (S) at the end " you can also see below picture to understand better

Present Indefinite Tense | Sentences


Finally!!! we have reached to the point where we can start learning how to make sentences. so first understand what are kinds / Types of sentences can we make

Kinds / Types of Sentences:

We have five (5) types of sentences
  1. Simple / Affirmative
  2. Negative
  3. Interrogative
  4. Interro negative
  5. Wh Questions
Simple or Affirmative are those sentences in which we don't deny or ask question means they are totally simple - Ex: I eat eggs - this is the very simple why because - in this sentence iam not denying or asking question

Subject + Verb + Object

Subject = Means Who or What Performs The Action
Verb = A word which shows an action is called verb" - For Example: (Dance , Read , Listen , Come)
Object = In easy words we say that an object gives us the full meaning of a sentence

Examples Sentences:

  1. I write a letter - > In this examples iam not asking question or denying
  2. He Speaks English
  3. They come late
  4. She Completes her Work
  5. He Writes a letter
  6. He learns Auto-Cad
  7. It Connects

  44. He thinks bad about you
  45. He cuts hair

We use Negative when we want to deny / or when we are not agreeing with someone and to do this we use two additional words which are - "Not" And Helping Verbs
Additional Words | Explanation:
  1. Not - (Not Means - No)
  2. Helping Verbs - We have two helping verbs in present tense - (First is Do , Second is Does) may be you are asking yourself why do we need them when we can only use the word (not) when are not agreeing well the answer is very simple - as you know in english grammar we have many structures so how will a person understand which tense are you using. in order to make this confusion clear every tense has its own helping verb so that a person can understand oh this tense you are using ok!!!

Sub + Do/Does + Not + V1 + Object

Does – The Word "Does" only comes with Singular Noun (She, He, it)
Do – The word "Do" only comes with Plural Noun (They, we I You) Etc

Examples Sentences:

  1. He does not Speak English
  2. They do not come late
  3. She does not Complete her Work
  4. He does not Write a letter
  5. He does not learn Auto-Cad
  6. It does not Connect
  7. She does not speak English
  8. They do not reject us

  37. He does not complete his Work
  38. He does not think bad about you
  39. He does not cut hair
