The simple present tense is a verb tense used to express actions or states that happen regularly, habitually, or are generally true. It is used to describe routines, facts, and general truths.

For most verbs, we simply add “-s” or “-es” to the base form of the verb in the third person singular (he, she, it). For example:
He plays tennis every day.
She dances beautifully.

Adverbs of frequency (always, often, usually, sometimes, seldom, never) are often used with the Simple Present Tense to express how often an action occurs. For example:
He often goes to the gym.
She never drinks coffee.

To form negative sentences, we use the auxiliary verb “do” or “does” with “not.” For example:
I do not like coffee.
She does not work on weekends.
