1. Affirmative (Κατάφαση)

Η κατάφαση του Present Simple κλίνεται με τα πρόσωπα I, you, we, you, they και μετά ακολουθεί το κύριο ρήμα χωρίς καμία κατάληξη.  Για τα υπόλοιπα πρόσωπα he, she, it το ρήμα παίρνει την κατάληξη –s.

                   ex. I work     αλλά     He works.

Ø      Exercise 1: Συμπλήρωσε τον παρακάτω πίνακα κλίνοντας τα ρήματα play και live στην κατάφαση του Present Simple.

Play (v) = Παίζω / Live (v) = Ζω, μένω

Affirmative	Affirmative

2. Spelling Rules (Κανόνες Ορθογραφίας)

a. Στα ρήματα που τελειώνουν σε –ss, -ch, -sh, -x και –o προσθέτουμε την κατάληξη 

     –es.

     ex.  I dress – he dresses           I wash – she washes          I go – it goes

            I teach – he teaches          I mix – she mixes

Ø      Exercise 2: Κλίνε τα ρήματα teach, wash και go στην κατάφαση του Present Simple.

Teach (v) = Διδάσκω / Wash (v) = Πλένω / Go (v) = Πηγαίνω

Affirmative	Affirmative	Affirmative
I teach	I wash	I go
He teaches
	She washes
		It goes
	We wash
You teach
		They go

b. Στα ρήματα που τελειώνουν σε –y και πριν υπάρχει σύμφωνο, το –y γίνεται –i και μετά προσθέτουμε την κατάληξη –es.

     ex.  I study – he studies       I try – she tries       αλλά     I play – it plays

16. wash (πλένω)     he …………                   20. finish (τελειώνω)     she …….....

3. Question (Ερώτηση)

Η ερώτηση σχηματίζεται αν βάλουμε το βοηθητικό ρήμα do πριν το υποκείμενο (subject) και το κύριο ρήμα.  Για το 3^ο ενικό πρόσωπο (he, she, it) το do αλλάζει σε does και φεύγει η κατάληξη από το κύριο ρήμα.  Η απάντηση σχηματίζεται με το πρόσωπο που ρωτάει και τα do/does και don’t/ doesn’t.

ΠΡΟΣΟΧΗ:   I   σ  YOU                                                     WE σ YOU (πληθυντικός)

                      YOU σ  I (ενικός)                                          YOU σ WE (πληθυντικός)

                     

      ex. Do I play?               - Yes, you do / No, you don’t                          

           Does he play?          - Yes, he does / No, he doesn’t

Ø      Exercise 5: Κλίνε τα ρήματα sit και pass στην ερώτηση του Present Simple.

Sit (v) = Κάθομαι / Pass (v) = Περνάω

Question	Answer	Question	Answer
Do I sit?	Yes, you do / No, you don’t	Do I pass?	Yes, you do / No, you don’t
Do you sit?	Yes, I do / No, I don’t
		Does he pass?	Yes, he does / No, he doesn’t
Does she sit?	Yes, she does / No, she doesn’t
		Do we pass?	Yes, you do / No, you don’t
Do you sit?	Yes, we do / No, we don’t

4. Negative (Άρνηση)

Η άρνηση σχηματίζεται αν βάλουμε το βοηθητικό ρήμα do not πριν από το κύριο ρήμα.  Και πάλι στο 3^ο ενικό πρόσωπο (he, she, it) το do not αλλάζει σε does not και φεύγει η κατάληξη από το κύριο ρήμα.  Σύντομος τύπος: do not – don’t,  does not – doesn’t

                         

                     ex. I do not play (I don’t play)             He does not play (He doesn’t play)

Ø      Exercise 6: Κλίνε τα ρήματα sit και pass στην άρνηση του Present Simple.

Sit (v) = Κάθομαι / Pass (v) = Περνάω

Negative	Short form	Negative	Short form

He does not sit	He doesn’t sit
		She does not pass	She doesn’t pass
You do not sit	You don’t sit
