Present Simple

ИНТЕНСИВ: PRESENT SIMPLE

Present Simple — полный разбор

Формы, вопросы и отрицания, to be, короткие ответы, маркеры частоты, stative verbs и модальные глаголы — всё, что нужно знать про простое настоящее.

Present Simple — простое настоящее время. Обозначает:
• регулярные действия и привычки (I work every day);
• факты и истины (Water boils at 100°C);
• расписания и графики (The train leaves at 6 pm);
• постоянные состояния (She lives in Moscow).
Маркеры: always, usually, often, sometimes, never, every day, on Mondays.

Важно: Present Simple — это не «действие сейчас». Для «прямо сейчас» используется Present Continuous (I am working now).

Формула: I / You / We / They + глагол (V1) | He / She / It + глагол (V1) + S
V1 — инфинитив без частицы to.

Present Simple — утвердительная форма
Местоимение	Формула	Пример
I	I + глагол	I work.
You	You + глагол	You work.
We	We + глагол	We work.
They	They + глагол	They work.
He / She / It	He/She/It + глагол + S	He works. / She goes.

Важно: окончание -s добавляется только в 3-м лице единственного числа (he, she, it). После -s, -sh, -ch, -x, -o пишется -es (goes, watches), после согласной + y — -ies (study → studies).

Формула: Do / Does + подлежащее + глагол (V1)?
Do — для I / you / we / they. Does — для he / she / it.

Present Simple — вопросительная форма
Местоимение	Формула	Пример
I	Do + I + глагол?	Do I work?
You	Do + you + глагол?	Do you work?
We	Do + we + глагол?	Do we work?
They	Do + they + глагол?	Do they work?
He / She / It	Does + he/she/it + глагол?	Does he work?

Важно: в вопросе с does глагол ВСЕГДА без -s. Ошибка: «Does he works?» → Правильно: Does he work?

Формула: подлежащее + do / does + not + глагол (V1)
Сокращения: don't = do not, doesn't = does not.

Present Simple — отрицательная форма
Местоимение	Формула	Пример (короткий)
I	I + do not + глагол	I don't work.
You	You + do not + глагол	You don't work.
We	We + do not + глагол	We don't work.
They	They + do not + глагол	They don't work.
He / She / It	He + does not + глагол	He doesn't work.

Важно: ошибка «He doesn't works» → правильно He doesn't work. Окончание -s «переезжает» на does и больше не повторяется.

Present Simple — все формы
Подлежащее	Утверждение	Вопрос	Отрицание
I	I work.	Do I work?	I don't work.
You	You work.	Do you work?	You don't work.
We	We work.	Do we work?	We don't work.
They	They work.	Do they work?	They don't work.
He	He works.	Does he work?	He doesn't work.
She	She works.	Does she work?	She doesn't work.
It	It works.	Does it work?	It doesn't work.

To be — отдельный глагол, который в Present Simple НЕ использует do/does.
am — I | is — he / she / it | are — you / we / they.

To be — утверждение, вопрос, отрицание
Местоимение	Утверждение	Вопрос	Отрицание
I	I am happy.	Am I happy?	I am not happy.
You	You are happy.	Are you happy?	You aren't happy.
We	We are happy.	Are we happy?	We aren't happy.
They	They are happy.	Are they happy?	They aren't happy.
He / She / It	He is happy.	Is he happy?	He isn't happy.

Важно: в вопросах и отрицаниях с to be НЕ нужен do/does. Ошибка: «Do you are happy?» → Правильно: Are you happy? Сокращения: I'm, you're, he's, she's, it's, we're, they're; isn't, aren't.

Короткие ответы в Present Simple
Вопрос	Утвердительный ответ	Отрицательный ответ
Do you work?	Yes, I do.	No, I don't.
Does she work?	Yes, she does.	No, she doesn't.
Do they like coffee?	Yes, they do.	No, they don't.
Is he a teacher?	Yes, he is.	No, he isn't.
Are you ready?	Yes, I am.	No, I'm not.

Важно: в коротком ответе повторяется только вспомогательный глагол (do / does / am / is / are), а не смысловой. Нельзя: «Yes, I work.» → Правильно: Yes, I do.

• Утверждение: I / You / We / They + V1 | He / She / It + V1 + S
• Вопрос: Do / Does + подлежащее + V1?
• Отрицание: подлежащее + do / does + not + V1
• To be: am / is / are (без do/does)

Запомнить: в вопросах и отрицаниях глагол ВСЕГДА без окончания -s — даже с he/she/it.

Позиция в предложении: перед смысловым глаголом (I always wake up early), но после to be (He is always late).

• see = «видеть» (stative: I see a bird) vs. «встречаться» (dynamic: I'm seeing a doctor).

Модальные глаголы всегда стоят в Present Simple: не спрягаются, не получают -s в 3-м лице, после них — инфинитив без to.

• Заменители have to и be able to спрягаются: He has to, She is able to.
• I want to run (обычный глагол) vs. I can run (модальный) — оба в Present Simple.
