Hello ,Sam. Hi, Willy.
What? But, I’m not
eating right now?
What are you eating
this morning?
Hahahaha...!
I mean, What are you
eating every morning.
Sorry Sam! It
should be – What
do I eat every
morning?
Why are you
laughing?
Whatever is definite;
whatever you, me or any being
habitually or regularly do, we
use present indefinite tense. Why?
You should use first form
of the verb with every
subject. You can put an
object as predicate.
What do you
mean?
No you use the
verb incorrectly
except one or two
sentences.
Is it like – a duck quack,
monkey chatter, star
glitter, you eat
breakfast, he dance and
I go to school.
Sam, you should know
we use ‘s’ or ‘es’ with
the verb, if the subject
is singular .
But, I used the
first form of
the verb.
A duck
quacks.
Ducks
quack.
But, if that subject is
‘You’ and ‘I’, the first
form of the verb will be
singular.
Oh!
Like,
YOU eat.
I dance.
Absolutely!
Is it like - You eat
mangoes; I walk; The
Sun shines.
Then, you would put
the verb without
adding ‘s’ or ‘es’.
What if I Would have
two subjects like Sara
and Mia?
Yes. That’s why the
stars GLITTER and the
moon LOOKS bright at
night. That mean we
should keep an
eye on the subject.
The moon looks bright at
night.
The stars glitter.
Note:
•You would always use this tense when you want
to express any habit, tendency, universal truth or
whatever you do usually. The verb will suffix with
S or ES as per the rule.
For example,
 I go for a morning walk. (It’s my habit.)
A lion eats the jungle. (It is lion’s tendency.)
 The sun shines. (Universal Truth)
The Eiffel Tower is the tallest man-made structure in the
world. (It’s a world record that is an undeniable truth.)
•For using it correctly, ask IF IT HAPPENS
GENERALLY and USUALLY, if the answer
is YES -use this present indefinite tense.
Let’s say, the bird flies. (Does it fly every day and usually? )
OR, I go abroad. (If this sentence has a time specification or
frequency, then it would be the present indefinite tense.)
•This tense can be easily understood if the
sentence has these words-every, often, always,
usually, tend and frequently (in some cases).
