Present Simple Form 

You make the present simple with the standard form of the verb

(Verb=Werkwoord). 

I drink tea every morning.

The he/she/it forms have an "s" at the end

She drinks tea every morning.

This is called the SHIT rule :)

Negative form

In negative sentences you use the auxilliary verb "to do" and the negative word "not". You can write this in two ways:

I do not drink tea every morning.

I don't drink tea every morning.

Question form

When you make a question, you always begin with a question word. For present simple you need the auxiliary verb "to do".

Do I drink tea every morning?

Negative and Questions: the shit rule

When you have an auxiliary verb, the SHIT rule applies to it, and not the main verb.

He doesn't drink tea every morning.

Does he drink tea every morning?
