Simple Present

Para preencher corretamente essas lacunas, basta você identificar o sujeito e o tipo de frase.

Para as frases afirmativas no Simple Present, os verbos recebem -s na 3ª pessoa do singular (he, she, it).

Paras as frases interrogativas e negativas, os verbos ficam na forma original, sem o acréscimo de -s.

• I (eu) - am (sou/estou)
• You (você/vocês) - are (é/está; são/estão)
• He (ele) - is (é/está)
• She (ela) - is (é/está)
• It (animais ou coisas) - is (é/está)
• We (nós) - are (somos/estamos)
• They (eles/elas) - are (são/estão)
