  3. The Subject We divide all pronouns and subjects into 2 groups: Singular (יחיד) I + Plural (רבים) He I She We They It Tomer You The boy The children Mother Tamar and I

  4. The Verb We divide the verbs into 2 groups: Verb + s, es, ies Verb goes go watches watch cries cry plays play

Verbs ending in consonant + y, changes the y toiand add “es”: I cry – He cries, We fly – She flies, You terrify - It terrifies

  6. Positive Sentences

  7. Helping Verbs Some sentences in the Present Simple must be written with the use of helping verbs. These verbs are: do / does • We use the helping verbs : • In negative sentences: do not does not • In yes /no questions: Do they…? Does she…? • In wh questions: Why do you…? Where does she…? Very Important! When we use do / does the verb comes in the base form: He works He doesn’t work She washes She doesn’t wash

  8. Negative Sentences In order to form negative sentences we use the helping verbs: does not (doesn’t) or do not (don’t)

  9. Yes / No Questoions

  11. Wh Subject Question This is the only type of question in which: • We do not use the helping verb do / does • The verb will come with the s, es, ies For example: • Who goes to work every day? Mothergoes to work every day. • What makes so much noise? The fridge makes so much noise.

  12. Time Expressions • One - word time expressions such as: always, often, generally, usually, normally, never, sometimes Will always come between the subject and the verb.
