Explicație:

Pentru aproape toate verbele din engleză prezentul simplu este identic cu forma de bază (forma din dicționar) a verbului, cu excepția cazului în care subiectul este la persoana a treia singular, caz în care se adaugă la final -(e)s. Sunt câteva verbe cu formă neregulată, cel mai important fiind verbul copulativ be (a fi), care are formele de prezent simplu am, is și are.
