You look great in this dress. I don't think it's a good idea to lie. Italians eat lots of pasta. In Canada, the houses are not made of bricks. O Simple Present pode também transmitir a idéia de que algo está acontecendo ou não no presente momento, ou uma condição em geral. I don't have a car. He is at home now. We need help with our homework. Existem algumas expressões indicadoras deste tempo verbal, que normalmente são: usually, frequently, often, every day, all the time. Para formar sentenças no Simple Present, usamos as seguintes regras: Afirmativa: I verb, You verb, He/She/it verbs (terceira pessoa do singular: adicione S ou ES) I have a new house. She has a new apartment. I do social work sometimes. She does voluntary work. I wash my car every weekend. He washes the car very well. Interrogativa: Use o verbo auxiliar "to do" e não modifique o verbo. Do you like to play cards? Where do you live? Does she work with you? How does he go to school every day? Negativa: do not, don't, does not, doesn't I do not like that kind of food. I don't have any money. Jack does not work here. Mary doesn't care about us. Atenção: Não use o verbo auxiliar "to do" com o verbo "to be". Inverta o sujeito e o verbo para a forma interrogativa e acrescente "not" para a forma negativa. Are you sad? Is she here? I am not sad. She isn't here.
