Present simple!

Present simple is formed with: [VERB] + s/es in third person.

Ex:
You speak English.
Do you speak English?
You do not speak English.


He speaks English.
Does he speak English?
He does not speak English.

We use the Simple Present to express the idea that an action is repeated or usual(a rutine). The action can be a habit, a hobby, a daily event, a scheduled event or something that often happens. It can also be something a person often forgets or usually does not do.

Ex:
I play tennis.
She does not play tennis.
Does he play tennis?
The train leaves every morning at 8 AM.
The train does not leave at 9 AM.
When does the train usually leave?
She always forgets her purse.
He never forgets his wallet.
Every twelve months, the Earth circles the Sun.
Does the Sun circle the Earth?
