Add and an -s with She/He/It (SHIT-rule)

Use the infinitive (stam) for the rest. 

Present Simple - Negative

If something is negative you can tell by the word not.

Most verbs needs help making the negative.
That is why you need do or does + not. 
Only She/He/It use does . The rest uses do.

If the verb is a form of to be (am, is, are) you can just use not.

I am very big --> I am not very big.

Present Simple - Questions

Questions in the present simple need help. You use do or does to help make questions in the Present Simple.

He dances every night --> Does he dance every night?

The other verb  in the sentence changes back to the infinitive (stam) - you do not need to add an -s.

If you are using a form of to be (am, is, are) you put the verb at the beginning of the sentence.

We are very tall --> Are we very tall?

Dying town

Civita di Bagnoregio is a 3,000-year-old town in Italy. People call it a dying town because it is possible that the town will soon disappear.

Civita is on a clay and volcanic rock cliff, and rain and winds changed the cliff quickly. In the past, the town was three times bigger than it is today. Now it is only 152 meters long and 91 meters wide, and people can only get there via a bridge.

Local people attached hundreds of steel rods to the walls and rock, and they hoped that the rods would keep the walls straight. Civita became a popular place for tourists. In 2019, more than a million tourists visited the town and they brought a lot of money.

Then the coronavirus changed everything, and people there do not have any money now. They hope that the situation will get better if Civita becomes a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

A ship in trouble

On Monday, a Dutch cargo ship got in trouble in a storm in the North Sea.

Large waves and strong winds made the ship move from side to side, and its main engine stopped working. There were 12 people on board and some of them jumped into the water because it was too dangerous to stay on board. Rescuers took all 12 people to safety, but the ship stayed at sea, and it started to move towards the Norwegian coast.

The ship was 111 meters long and it carried smaller boats. Some of the cargo ended up in the water and there was a high risk that the ship would sink, and oil from the ship would get in the sea.
