The Present Simple (Indefinite) Tense – настоящее неопределённое время употребляется для выражения действия обычного, постоянного, повторяющегося, происходящего в настоящее время, не соотнесенного с моментом речи:

I go to the University on foot.	The lectures at the University begin at 9 o’clock.
Я хожу в университет пешком.	Лекции в университете начинаются в 9 часов.

Обычный, повторяющийся характер действия обуславливает использование таких наречий, как always ( всегда), often (часто), seldom (редко), usually (обычно), never (никогда), sometimes (иногда), every day (каждый день) и т.д. В предложении они стоят между подлежащим и смысловым глаголом:

Twice a year students take their exams.

Дважды в год студенты сдают экзамены.

Утвердительная форма образуется путём постановки личной формы инфинитива без частицы to после подлежащего. Однако, если подлежащее стоит в форме третьего лица единственного числа (т.е. выражено местоимениями he, she, it или его можно заменить этими местоимениями), то глагол принимает окончание -s или -es,которое образуется и читается по тем же правилам, что и окончание множественного числа имен существительных:

My friend lives in a hostel.	The school year begins in September.
Мой друг живёт в общежитии.	Учебный год начинается в сентябре.

Вопросительная форма образуется при помощи вспомогательного глагола do, который в третьем лице единственного числа имеет форму does и инфинитива смыслового глагола без частицы to. В вопросительной форме вспомогательный глагол ставится перед подлежащим, за которым следует смысловой глагол:

Do you speak English well?	Yes, I do.
Ты хорошо говоришь по-английски?	Да.

В отрицательной форме отрицание not ставиться после вспомогательного глагола. В разговорной речи обычно употребляется сокращённая форма от do not – don’t и does not – doesn’t:

The students do not go to the library every day.	The computer doesn't work.
Студенты не ходят в библиотеку каждый день.	Компьютер не работает.

Глагол to be не нуждается во вспомогательных глаголах для образования отрицательной и вопросительной форм настоящего неопределенного времени:

Итак, схематически The Present Simple Tense можно изобразить следующим образом (где V –основа инфинитива глагола, а «+ / - /?» обозначают утвердительное, отрицательное и вопросительное предложения):

+   –   ?

V1 (3 л. ед.ч + s) do / does not V1 Do / Does... V1

He lives in Tambov. They live in Tambov. He doesn't live in Tambov. They don't live in Tambov. Does he live in Tambov? Yes, he does. No, he does not. Do they live in Tambov? Yes, they do. No, they don't.
