1. SIMPLE PRESENT

I think you think he,she, it thinks, we think, you think, they think.

The simple present is very simple in form, and that is why many learners think that verbs in English are easy.
ndeed, what could be easier to learn than this ?
In this form of the verb, only the 3rd person singular changes in any way, and it adds only 's' to the main stem.
Thus:

I, we, you, they

think

he, she, it

thinks

There are hardly any exceptions
The verb 'to be' is an exception.

I am you are he, she, it is

we are you are they are

Some verbs take 'es' in the 3rd person singular.

I do I go I fish

s/he it does s/he goes s/he fishes
