Simple Present Tense for regular verbs

For regular verbs, the simple present tense is usually formed by adding an –s at the end of the verb when speaking in the third person but it stays in the base form otherwise.

Take a look at the examples below.

To conjugate the verb ‘eat’

I eat mangoes every day.

We eat mangoes every day.

You eat mangoes every day.

They eat mangoes every day.

We only add an –s to the end of the verb ‘eat’ when speaking the third person singular (he/she).
