Wat zijn de SIGNAALWOORDEN waar je op moet letten?

You make a present simple:

* affirmative sentence  

I / we / you / they + verb

he/she/it + verb + (e)s

I walk                                               we walk

you walk                                         you walk

he/she/it walks                           they walk

remember the shit- rule

shit = he / she / it + verb + (e)s

1) the verb ends in a hissing sound: he/she/it + verb + es

He watches TV.

2) the verb ends in a consonant + y: ies

to try - He tries.

3) to go - he goes 

You use the present simple:
