Grammar: Simple Present Tense

Purpose : to tell habits or facts

Simple Present Tense is divided into two: Nominal Sentence and Verbal Sentence

1. The Formula of Nominal Sentence

Subject + tobe (is/am/are) + Adjective/ Noun/ Adverb

Pronoun
I                        : am
You, We, They : are
She He, It         : is 

Examples: 
a. I am smart
b. She is a student
c. They are here
d. The earth is round
e. Cika is pretty
f. Cika and Shanty are smart

If you want to change the nominal sentence into negative or interrogative, here is the example:
(+) She is pretty

(?) Is she pretty?
     Yes, she is
      No, she is not/ No, she isn't

Subject + Verb 1 (+s/es) + Complement

Pronoun
