I. The formation of the Present Indefinite.

1. The Present Indefinite is formed from the infinitive without the particle to.

The third person singular adds –s; -es to the Infinitive.

2. The interrogative and the negative forms are formed by means of the Present

Indefinite of the auxiliary verb to do and the infinitive of the notional verb

without the particle to.

Affirmative Interrogative Negative

I work Do I work? I do not work

He works Does he work? He does not work

She works Does she work? She does not work

We work Do we work? We do not work

You work Do you work? You do not work

They work Do they work? They do not work

3. The contracted negative forms are:

I don’t work

He doesn’t work

They don’t work

4. The negative-interrogative forms are:

Do you not work?

Don’t you work?

Does he not work?

Doesn’t he work?

II. SPELLING NOTES

Verbs ending in -ss, -sh, -ch, -x and -о add es, instead of s alone, to form the third person singular:

I kiss, he kisses I box, he boxes

I rush, he rushes I do, he does

I watch, he watches I go, he goes

When -у follows a consonant we change the у into i and add -es:

I carry, he carries

I copy, he copies

I try, he tries

but verbs ending in у following a vowel obey the usual rule:

I obey, he obeys

I say, he says

III. The Present Indefinite is used in the following cases:

1. to denote habitual actions, to state facts in the present.

I live in St.-Petersburg.

Most dogs bark.

2. to state general rules or laws of nature, that is to show that something was true in the past, is true in the present, and will be true in the future.

Snow melts at 0 C.

Two plus two makes four.

3. to denote recurrent actions or everyday activity. This use is often associated with such adverbial modifiers of frequency as often

sometimes

occasionally

always

never

ever

every year ( week, month, day )

usually

once ( twice, thrice ) a year

daily

on Sundays and the like

He usually wakes up around six o’clock and has his cup of coffee.
