O present simple: verbos irregulares (forma afirmativa)
Lembrete: para formar o simple present da maioria dos verbos, usamos o infinitivo sem to para todos os pronomes, exceto para he/she/it (ele/ela), onde um -s é adicionado ao final.
ligar → eu ligo para a minha mãe toda noite / ele liga para a mãe dele toda noite
Comer → eles comem uma pizza / ela come uma pizza
Alguns verbos são irregulares com os pronomes he/she/it (ele/ela):
- Verbos terminados em -s, -sh, -z, -ch, -x ou -o: adiciona-se -es
assistir → Ele assiste a um filme
Consertar → Shorty conserta o banheiro
ir → Ela vai ao teatro
- Verbos terminados em consoante + -y: remova o -y e adicione -ies
Responder → Betty responde ao seu e-mail

Choose the correct option to complete each sentence.
He does 1 his best.
They wash 2 their clothes.
The baby cries 3 all night long.
He does his best. When the subject is he/she/it, for verbs ending in -o like to do, we form the present simple tense by adding -es (to do → does). Examples: he does his English homework; she goes to work.
You can say, for example, I do my best with the subject I, but you need to add -es at the end of the verb when the subject is he/she/it.
They wash their clothes. With all plural subjects including they, the present simple form is the same as the infinitive form without to (to wash → wash). Example: they wash their car.
When the subject is he/she/it (or the name of a person, object etc.), you add -es after the infinitive form of all verbs ending in -sh. However, we do not do it here, because the subject is they. Example: he washes his car.
The baby cries all night long. For verbs that end in a consonant (here r) + y like to cry, you form the present simple tense after he/she/it by removing the y and adding -ies. Example: he tries to arrive on time (to try → tries).
You could say you cry all night long because the present simple form for all subjects, except for he/she/it, is the same as the infinitive form without to (to cry), but here the subject is the baby (=he/she).

Betty replies to an email. In the present simple tense and when the subject is he/she/it (Betty=she), for all verbs ending in a consonant + -y (like reply) remove the -y and add -ies at the end. Example: the bird flies in the sky.
My father goes to his dance class. For verbs ending in -o like to go, form the present simple tense with subjects like he/she/it (my father=he) by adding -es. Example: it goes well.
Caroline brushes her teeth. To brush ends in -sh so you need to add -es to form the present simple tense after subjects like he/she/it. Example: she refreshes the page.

She teaches English. With subjects like he/she/it and if a verb ends in -ch, you need to add -es at the end of the verb (to teach → teaches) to obtain the present simple tense. Example: my son (=he) watches TV.
Roger relaxes during his vacation. When a verb ends in -x in its infinitive form, add -es (to relax → relaxes) to form the present simple tense after subjects like he/she/it (Roger=he). Example: she fixes my computer.
You try new food. With the subject you, simply use the infinitive form without to (to try) to form the present simple tense. Example: you speak English very well.
