When used in grammar 'simple' means one verb. The simple tenses only have one verb egI like ice cream = present simpleI ate the ice cream = past simpleIn contrast other tenses have an auxiliary verb and a main verb or a be verb and a main verb or a modal verb and a main verb. eg have been, will see, is waiting, was eatenSome people call present perfect, present perfect simple, but I think this is not correct. Most grammar books I have talk about 2 simple tenses - present and past.
There are two simple tenses. Present simple and past simple. The word simple means one verb ie not a verb phrase.Present simple has one verb in a present tense form eg They walk to school. -- walk is the present tense verb.Past simple has one verb in a past tense form eg We walked to school. -- walked is the past tense verb.
I/you/we/they cause. He/she/it causes. The present participle is causing.
In grammar simple means one verb. There are two tenses with one main verb -- past simple and present simple.Past simple -- I ate the cake. -- the verb ate is in past tense.Present simple -- I like cake. -- the verb like is in 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.
Simple tense means there is only one verb in the sentence. So a verb phrase cannot be a simple tense.She makes hats. -- present simple -- one verb (makes)She is making hats -- present continuous -- two verbs (am making)
"Drive" can be a simple present verb when used to describe current actions, such as "I drive to work every day."
No.Past simple and present simple are called simple because they have only one verb - a main verb, no auxiliary verbs.
