THE WORLD OF WORK
A. GRAMMAR
§ PRESENT SIMPLE
El temps de simple present té la mateixa forma que l’infinitiu per a totes les persones llevat de la tercera del singular, en què s’usa la forma -s (aquest és l’únic ús d’aquesta forma). Correspon al temps català present d’indicatiu i, a més, es tradueix sempre per aquest temps. Exemples:
| TEMPS DE SIMPLE PRESENT | ||
| PERSONA | SINGULAR | PLURAL |
| 1a | I playI drink | We playWe drink |
| 2a | You playYou drink | You playYou drink |
| 3a | He/she/it playsHe/she/it drinks | They playThey drink |
Observacions:
§ La forma -s es fa servir per a tota paraula que denoti un subjecte singular, excepte els pronoms I i you. Aquesta conjugació s’oblida sovint, fins i tot per part d’alumnes amb un bon coneixement de la llengua, potser a causa del fet que els verbs anglesos no se solen conjugar; però s’ha de vigilar a no cometre tal negligència.
§ Per a afegir aquesta –s farem servir la mateixa norma que amb els noms en plural
§ El present simple es fa servir per expresar coses que són verdaderes en general, o bé que ocorren amb certa freqüència o habitualment.
FORMA NEGATIVA DEL SIMPLE PRESENT
En la negació del present simple fem servir don?t/doesn’t

AFIRMACIÓ |

Fem servir don’t; doesn’t amb l’infinitiu del verb
Cal diferenciar don’t i doesn’t (negació) del verb do (fer)
– I dont do any homework on Saturday (No faig deures el dissabte)
– He’s very lazy. He doesn’t do anything (Ell és molt gandul. No fa res)
