構成現在簡單式：以 to think 為例

I think	Do I think?	I do not think
You think	Do you think?	You do not think
He thinks	Does he think?	He does not think
She thinks	Does she think?	She does not think
It thinks	Does it think?	It does not think
We think	Do we think?	We do not think.

現在簡單式的小筆記：第三人稱單數

在第三人稱單數時，動詞一律以 s 結尾：
he wants, she needs, he gives, she thinks.
否定句和疑問句要用 Does（= 助動詞 Do 的第三人稱動詞變化）+ 不帶 to 的不定詞。
He wants ice cream. Does he want strawberry? He does not want vanilla.
以 y 結尾的動詞：第三人稱動詞要將 y 改為 ies：
fly --> flies, cry --> cries
例外情況：字尾 -y 前面有母音：
play --> plays, pray --> prays
當動詞原型字尾是 ss、x、sh、ch 時，就在字尾加 es：
he passes, she catches, he fixes, it pushes

舉例

He goes to school every morning.
She understands English.
It mixes the sand and the water.
He tries very hard.
She enjoys playing the piano.
