📝 Tips para entender el presente
1. La mayoría de los verbos en inglés simplemente se conjugan agregando «s» o «es» al final de la tercera persona del singular (he, she, it). Por ejemplo, el verbo «play» se convierte en «plays» para la tercera persona del singular. Recuerda esta regla cuando conjugues verbos en el presente.
2. Para la primera persona del singular (I), segunda persona del singular (you), y para todas las personas del plural (we, you, they) no se agrega ninguna terminación adicional al verbo en el presente. Por ejemplo, «I play», «you play», «we play», etc.
3. Algunos verbos en inglés tienen conjugaciones irregulares en el presente. En lugar de simplemente agregar «s» o «es», cambian completamente. Por ejemplo, el verbo «go» se convierte en «goes» en la tercera persona del singular. Es recomendable aprender estas formas irregulares importantes de memoria.
