Simple Present Or Present Continuous Tense Exercise

The simple present tense is used to talk about our everyday activities – things that we do regularly or at specific intervals.
There is an important point to consider. In the simple present tense, when the subject is a singular noun (e.g. Rahul, Maya, pen, tree, dog, boy) or a third person singular pronoun (he, she, it), the verb takes the marker –s.

The verb does not take the marker -s when the subject is a plural noun (e.g. books, pens, trees, dogs, boys) or pronoun (they, we, you). The first person pronoun ‘I’ also doesn’t take the marker –s.
