read=leer buy=comprar

I walk everyday in the mornings. (camino por las mañanas todos los dias)

Generally= Generalmente Often= A menudo, con frecuencia.

What is the Present Simple Tense?

If you want to talk about an action which is happening in the present moment, you will be using the present simple tense.

The first person, second person, and third person plural regular verbs are straightforward and are just like the infinitive form of the verb most of the time.

The third person singular has a couple of rules associated with it that may take a bit of memorization at first but will become second nature through repetition.

• To most regular verbs, add an s' at the end.
• To verbs that end in s, ss, sh, ch, x, z, or o, add an es.
• To verbs that end in y, we eliminate the y of the verb, and add ies.

Examples:

• Infinitive: To Go: Ir
• First Person: I go/We go
• Second Person: You go
• Third Person: He goes/They go

• Infinitive: To study: Estudiar
• First Person: I study/We study
• Second Person: You study
• Third Person: She studies/They study

• Infinitive: To Mix: Mezclar
• First Person: I Mix/We Mix
• Second Person: You Mix
• Third Person: He mixes/They mix

• infinitive: To Watch: ver (tv)
• First Person: I watch/ We watch
• Second Person: You watch
• Third Person: He watches/They watch

• infinitive: To Wash: Lavar
• First Person: I wash/ We wash
• Second Person: You wash
• Third Person: He washes/They wash

• infinitive: To Miss: Extrañar
• First Person: I miss/ We miss
• Second Person: You miss
• Third Person: He misses/They miss

• infinitive: To Watch: ver (tv)
• First Person: I watch/ We watch
• Second Person: You watch
• Third Person: He watches/They watch

• infinitive: To Buzz: Zumbar
• First Person: I buzz/ We buzz
• Second Person: You buzz
• Third Person: He buzzes/They buzz

Let's see a little bit more the use the 's' and 'es' at the of the verb for third person singular.

The verbs that end with 'y', but before that there is a vowel (a, e, i, o, u), we just put an 's' for third person singular. For example:

say: says: Decir

enjoy: enjoys: disfrutar

play:plays:jugar
