Simple present uses the base form of the verb for I as a subject and plural subjects eg

I like

ice cream. They like

ice cream. My friends like

ice cream.

For singular noun subjects and he/she/it as subjects the verb form is verb + -s,

He likes

ice cream. The doctor likes

ice cream.


Present simple is used to talk about:

1. Something that is always true - The sun rises in the east. Ice melts when you heat it.

2. Some thing that is true now - I live in Ekatahuna. She likes Jon.

3. Something you do again and again ie a habit. - I get up at 7:00am and eat breakfast.

How to change the sentence into simple present tense?

Present simple sentences have one verb that is the present tense. To change a past simple sentence into present simple you just have to change the verb into its present form. For example: The dogs chased the cat. -- The verb chased is in the past form The dogs chase the cat. -- The verb chase is in the present form. Both these sentences have a plural subject (dogs). When the subject is singular the verb form for present simple is verb + -s The boy walked to school. -- The verb walked is in the past form The boy walks to school. -- The verb walks is in the present singular form.
