sometimes kate rides her bike to work

1:12

let's see what you remember how does sam

1:23

1:26

how does jeff go to work does he drive

1:30

or does he take public transit

1:34

he drives how do kate

1:38

and jeff sometimes go to work

1:44

sometimes they ride bikes

1:48

how do we get around our city we don't

1:52

drive

1:52

and we don't ride bikes but we walk

1:56

and we take public transit

2:00

in the present tense most verbs do not

2:03

change much

2:05

for example i walk

2:08

you walk he walks

2:12

she walks it walks

2:16

we walk they walk

2:20

you'll notice they're all the same

2:22

except for

2:23

he she and it they add

2:27

an s at the end of walks

2:31

note that when a word ends with the

2:34

sounds

2:38

[Music]

2:40

you add an es to the end of the word

2:44

let's look at some examples this

2:47

is a dishwasher it washes cups

2:52

it washes plates it washes

2:55

dishes

2:59

notice that you do not say it washes

3:03

you say it washes

3:07

let's look at all of the conjugations or

3:10

forms of this verb so

3:14

i wash you wash she

3:18

washes he washes it washes

3:23

we wash you wash they wash

3:29

some other examples are mix

3:32

becomes mixes kiss

3:35

becomes kisses and

3:38

watch becomes watches

3:42

let's look at another verb eat i

3:46

you we they eat

3:50

but he she it

3:54

eats in the sentence

3:57

it washes dishes notice we say

4:01

it because a dishwasher is not a person

4:05

or an animal we say he

4:08

or she when talking about people and

4:11

sometimes

4:12

animals especially pets like zoe

4:17

let's take a look at a question a

4:20

positive statement

4:21

and a negative statement of some of

4:23

these verbs

4:26

so for example my friends walk to work

4:31

do they drive to work no they don't

4:34

drive to work

4:36

they walk to work here we have the

4:39

question

4:40

do they drive to work the negative

4:43

statement

4:45

no they don't drive to work

4:49

and the positive statement they walk to

4:53

work

4:55

note that in a question the word do

4:59

comes first do they drive to work

5:04

but in a negative statement the word

5:06

don't

5:07

comes before the verb

5:10

they don't drive to work

5:14

let's look at another example with sam

5:16

again

5:17

does sam drive to school no

5:21

he doesn't he walks to school

5:25

again in question form the word

5:28

does comes first does

5:32

sam drive to school in the answer

5:35

doesn't comes before the verb

5:38

he doesn't drive

5:42

notice with questions or statements with

5:45

does

5:46

or doesn't there's no s at the end of

5:49

the main verb for example

5:53

you say does he drive to school

5:56

not does he drives to school

6:00

you can imagine that the s at the end of

6:03

drives

6:05

moves to the end of does

6:08

also note that do and don't are used

6:12

with the words

6:13

i you we and

6:16

they so in a question form you could say

6:20

do i walk do you walk

6:23

do we walk do they walk

6:28

does and doesn't however are used with

6:31

the words

6:32

she he and it

6:35

in the negative you say i don't

6:39

you don't she doesn't he doesn't

6:43

it doesn't we don't you don't

6:47

they don't so for example

6:50

i don't drive he doesn't drive

6:55

how do you get around do you walk

6:58

ride a bike drive or take public transit
