What do you already know about the present simple?

How do we make the present simple?

We use the base form of the verb without 'to', so "to talk" =

I talk

You talk

She/  He / It talks

You talk

We talk

They talk 

What do you notice with "She/ He / It"? 

He / She / It

 When the subject is He/ She / it we add "s" to the  verb  

to walk - He walks  - Sam walks

 to talk - She talks - Donna talks 

to stop - It stops - The bus stops
