How do we make the Simple Present Tense؟
subject |
+ |
auxiliary verb |
+ |
main verb |
There are three important exceptions(موارد استثنا):
- For positive sentences, we do not normally use the auxiliary.
- For the 3rd person singular (he, she, it), we add s to the main verb or es to the auxiliary.
- For the verb to be, we do not use an auxiliary, even for questions and negatives.
Look at these examples with the main verb like:
|
subject |

How do we use the Simple Present Tense?
We use the simple present tense when:
- the action is general – در مورد عمل در حالت کلی
- the action happens all the time, or habitually, in the past, present and future – برای بیان عملی که همیشه تکرار میشود وخواهد شد (مانند رسمها و عادات)
- the action is not only happening now – حتماً عمل در حال اتفاق افتادن نباید باشد
- the statement is always true – برای بیان حقایقی که همیشه درست هستند
John drives a taxi. |
||
past |
present |
future |
|
||
It is John's job to drive a taxi. He does it every day. Past, present and future. |
Look at these examples:
- I live in New York.
- The Moon goes round the Earth.
- John drives a taxi.
- He does not drive a bus.
- We meet every Thursday.
- We do not work at night.
- Do you play football?
Note that with the verb to be, we can also use the simple present tense for situations that are not general. We can use the simple present tense to talk about now. Look at these examples of the verb "to be" in the simple present tense - some of them are general, some of them are now:
Am I right?
|
||
past |
present |
future |
The situation is now. در مورد همین الان(زمان صحبت کردن) میباشد. |
I am not fat.
|
||
past |
present |
future |
The situation is general. Past, present and future. در مورد یک حالت به صورت کلی استفاده شده. که هم در گذشته، حال و آینده صحیح میباشد |
