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

fazer → Magda faz bem o seu trabalho
  • Verbos terminados em consoante + -y: remova o -y e adicione -ies
estudar → Ele estuda inglês

Responder → Betty responde ao seu e-mail


Exercício 1

Choose the correct option to complete each sentence.

He his best.

They their clothes.

The baby all night long.


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.

1 does:

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.

1 do:

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.

2 wash:

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.

2 washes:

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.

3 cries:

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). 

3 cry:

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).

Exercício 2

Conjugate the verb in brackets to complete the sentences.

Betty to an email.

My father to his dance class.

Caroline her teeth.


Conjugate the verb in brackets to complete the sentences.

Betty [not done] replies 1 to an email.

My father [not done] goes 2 to his dance class.

Caroline [not done] brushes 3 her teeth.

1 replies:

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.

2 goes:

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.

3 brushes:

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.

Exercício 3

Conjugate the verbs in the simple present tense to complete the sentences.

She English.

Roger during his vacation.

You new food.


Conjugate the verbs in the simple present tense to complete the sentences.

She [not done] teaches 1 English.

Roger [not done] relaxes 2 during his vacation.

You [not done] try 3 new food.

1 teaches:

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.

2 relaxes:

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.

3 try:

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.
