English Tense Forms...The Present Tense

The present tense shows the action that is happening now.Tense is a change in the form of a word to show time. For example, let us consider the following sentences.
1. They blow the whistle. 2 John blows the whistle. 3 He blows the whistle. 4 She blows the whistle. 5 Okolo and Okeke blow the whistle.

The above five sentences show the use of the present simple tense for what happens everyday or regularly.Note the form of the verbs in each sentence.In sentence 1 ' blow' is present tense with plural subject 'they'. In sentence 2 'blows' is present tense with singular subject 'John'. In number 3 'blows' is also present tense with singular pronoun 'He' which is in the third person.That is the pronoun 'he' is in the third person singular and verb must agree accordinly. In number4 'blows' is also present tense with singular subject 'she' which is also in the third person singular.We note from the examples above that singular subjects have their verbs with 's ' or 'es' or 'ies' depending on the verb.But plural subjects do not take 's ' or 'ss' in their present tense verbs.
