Simple Present/ Present Indefinite Tense
Introduction
We use the simple present (also: present simple, present tense) to express actions in the
present that take place once or repeatedly, happen one after the other, have general validity,
or are determined by a time table or schedule.
َََ‫ال‬‫مث‬‫ہیں۔‬ ‫پڑھاتے‬ ‫انگریزی‬ ‫ہمیں‬ ‫صاحب‬ ‫ملک‬Malik Sahib teaches us English.
A Paragraph (Simple Present)
Colin likes football. He is a forward. A forward tries to score goals for his team. Colin plays
football every Tuesday. His training starts at five o’clock. After school Colin goes home,
packs his bag, puts on his football shirt and then he goes to football training. He has to take
the bus. The bus leaves at half past four.
Usage
 events that take place regularly or habitually (always, never, rarely, often)
Example:
He plays football every Tuesday.
 events that take place one after the other
Example:
After school Colin goes home, packs his bag, puts on his football shirt and then he
goes to football training.
 something is generally valid
Example:
A forward tries to score goals for his team.
 future actions that are planned and predetermined (e.g. by a time table or programme)
Example:
The bus leaves at half past four.
His training starts at five o’clock.
 static verbs (condition) and verbs of thought/memory
Example:
Colin likes football.
He is a forward.
Construction
In positive sentences, we use the verb in its basic form. We only need to add an s or es in the
third person singular. In negative sentences and questions, we generally need the auxiliary
verb do (or does in the third person singular). The verb itself then remains in its basic form.
Simple Sentences/ Affirmative Sentences: Subject + 1st
form of Verb (main verb – base) + s/es + Object
Negative Sentences: Subject + do/ does (Auxiliary verb) + 1st form of Verb + Object
Question/ Interrogative Sentences: Do/ Does + Subject + 1st form of Verb + Object + ?
positive negative question
I/you/we/they I speak I do not speak Do I speak?
he/she/it he speaks he does not speak Does he speak?
Exceptions in the Construction of the 3rd Person Singular
 If the verb ends with an ‘o’, ‘u’ or ‘x’ or a sibilant (ch, sh, ss), we add es.

of 21
Example:
do – he does
wash – she washes
mix – He mixes
cross – Ali crosses
teach – He teaches
 If the verb ends with a consonant + y, we change the y to ie before we add the s. (but
the y does not change after a vowel)
Example:
worry – he worries
(but: play – he plays)
 We do not add an s to the verbs can, may, might, and must. They remain the same in
all forms.
Example:
he can swim
she must go
The verbs be/have
be
The verb be is irregular in all its forms. In negative sentences and questions, we do not use it
with an auxiliary verb.
I I am I am not Am I?
he/she/it he is he is not Is he?
you/we/they you are you are not Are you?
have
For have, we have two possible constructions: have and have got.
I/you/we/they I have/I have got I do not have/I have not got Do I have?/Have I got?
he/she/it he has/he has got he does not have/he has not got Does he have?/Has he got?
Usage of have got
Have got expresses possession/belonging in British English. This form is uncommon in
American English.
Contractions
Especially in spoken English, we like to combine pronouns with certain verbs in order to
sound more natural. These combinations are called contractions.
long form contraction example
am (not) …’m (not) I’m (not) (not: I amn’t)
are …’re you’re
are not …’re not/… aren’t we’re not/we aren’t
is …’s he’s
is not …’s not/… isn’t she’s not/she isn’t
have …’ve they’ve
have not …’ve not/… haven’t I’ve not/I haven’t
has …’s she’s
has not …’s not/… hasn’t he’s not/he hasn’t

of 21
do not don’t you don’t
does not doesn’t it doesn’t
To Note
In writing, the contraction of are can only be used after pronouns, not after any other words.
Example:
They’re not interested in football.
(but not: The girls’re not interested in football.)
Signal Words
 always, normally, usually
 often, sometimes, seldom
 never
 every day/week/month/…
Present Progressive/ Continuous
Introduction
The present progressive (also: present continuous) is the continuous form of the present
tense. We use it in English mostly to express actions that are taking place at the present
moment or that are only happening temporarily.
I am learning my lesson.
A Paragraph (Present Progressive)
James is travelling around Australia. He is staying at a youth hostel in a little Australian
town. The town is becoming more and more popular because of its beautiful beaches. James
is meeting his friend Brad in town tonight. Brad is working there as a tour guide over the
summer. James is in the town centre now. Look! James is taking a picture of another tourist.
Usage
 actions that are taking place at the present moment (now)
Example:
Look! James is taking a picture of another tourist.
 predetermined plans or appointments that have been made for the near future
Example:
He is meeting his friend Brad tonight.
 actions that are only happening temporarily
Example:
James is travelling around Australia.

 actions that are currently happening, but not in this very moment
Example:
He is staying at a youth hostel.
 situations that are changing
Example:
The town is becoming more and more popular because of its beautiful beaches.

of 21
Construction
We use the auxiliary verb ‘be’ (is, am, are) and the main verb in its ing-form.
Simple Sentences/ Affirmative Sentences: Subject + is/ am/ are + 1st
form of Verb + ing + Object
Negative Sentences: Subject + is/ am/ are + not + 1st
Question/ Interrogative Sentences: Is/ Am/ Are + Subject + 1st
form of Verb + ing + Object + ?
I I am speaking I am not speaking Am I speaking?
he, she, it he is speaking he is not speaking Is he speaking?
you, we, they you are speaking you are not speaking Are you speaking?
Exceptions when adding ing
 An e at the end of the word is removed (but: ee remains unchanged).
Example:
come – coming
(but: agree – agreeing)
 For words that have a short stressed vowel before the final consonant, we double the
final consonant.
Example:
sit – sitting
 An l as the final consonant after a vowel is always doubled in British English (but not
in American English).
Example:
travel – travelling (British), traveling (American)
 An ie at the end of the word is replaced by a y.
Example:
lie – lying
Contractions

are …’re you’re
are not …’re not/… aren’t we’re not/we aren’t

Present Perfect Simple
Introduction
The present perfect simple indicates that an action took place just recently, and still has an
influence on the present.
I have worked.
Example
James loves football and plays it very well. He has bought new trainers with which he plays
even better than before. James has become the team captain because he has never lost a
match. It seems that his team will win this match as well. James has just scored a goal and
the referee has not blown the final whistle yet.
Usage
 the result is emphasized
Example:
He has become the team captain.
 an action that has just been completed
Example:
He has just scored a goal.
 completed action with influence on the present
Example:
He has bought new trainers with which he plays better than before.
 action that has happened never, once, or several times up to the time of speaking
Example:
He has never lost a match.
The referee has not blown the final whistle yet.
Construction
We need the auxiliary verb have and the past participle.
Simple Sentences/ Affirmative Sentences: Subject + has/ have + 3rd
form of Verb + Object
Negative Sentences: Subject + has/ have + not + 3rd
Question/ Interrogative Sentences: Has/ Have + Subject + 3rd
form of Verb + Object + ?
I/you/we/they I have played/spoken I have not played/spoken Have I played/spoken?
he/she/it he has played/spoken he has not played/spoken Has he played/spoken?
Past participle
We form the past participle for regular verbs by adding ed. For irregular verbs, we use the
third verb form.
Exceptions in the construction with regular verbs
 If a verb ends with ‘e’, we simply add a ‘d’.
Example:
love – loved (not: loveed)
 After a short stressed vowel, the final consonant is doubled.
Example:

of 21
admit – admitted
 The final consonant l is always doubled after a vowel in British English (but not in
American English).
Example:
travel – travelled (British), traveled (American)
 A ‘y’ at the end of the word is replaced by an i.
Example:
hurry – hurried
Contractions
has …’s she’s

But the contraction of has is possible after other words as well (as long as the word does not
already end in s).
Example:
He’s/The boy’s played football.
(but not: James’s played football.)
Signal Words
 already, just, not yet
 ever, never
 so far, till now, up to now

once or repeatedly, happened one after the other, or interrupted an action that was already
taking place.

Question/ Interrogative Sentences: Did + Subject + 1st
regular verb I played I did not play Did I play?

 A y at the end of the word is replaced by an i.
Example:
hurry – hurried
The verb “be”

Past Progressive/ Continuous Tense

lazy. So while Lucy was relaxing at the beach, he was sailing. Lucy was watching the sunset
when Laurence passed by on his boat.

matter what kind of word comes before them).

In writing, all the other contractions can only be used after pronouns, not after other words.

to the present.
