When to Use the Present Simple
The Present Simple is used for regular actions that you do often, like every day or every week. It's also for facts and general truths, things that are always true. Finally, we use it for habits, things you do out of habit.

Grammar Rules: I, You, We, They
For subjects like I, You, We, They, or plural nouns (e.g., 'students'), we use the base form of the verb. The base form is the verb without 'to'. For example, 'I walk' or 'We play'.
- Use base form of the verb.

Grammar Rules: He, She, It
For subjects like He, She, It, or singular nouns (e.g., 'my friend'), we add -s or -es to the end of the verb. Most verbs just add -s, like 'He walks'. We add -es to verbs ending with -s, -sh, -ch, -x, -z, or -o, like 'She watches'.

- Add -es for verbs ending in -s, -sh, -ch, -x, -z, or -o.
Special Cases for -s/-es
If a verb ends in a consonant + 'y', we change 'y' to 'i' and add -es, for example, 'study' becomes 'studies'. However, if a verb ends in a vowel + 'y', we just add -s, like 'play' becomes 'plays'. Adverbs like 'always' or 'often' are used with the Present Simple.
- Consonant + y: change 'y' to 'i' and add -es.
- Vowel + y: just add -s.
