Le Simple
Present est
le temps le plus employé en anglais. Il s'emploie pour parler d'une
activité habituelle, d'une vérité scientifique, d'un état, ...
Il
s’utilise souvent avec les adverbes
always
(toujours), often (souvent), usually (habituellement), regularly
(régulièrement), everyday
(tous les jours), …
ATTENTION: il ne
faut pas oublier le (e)s de la
troisième personne du singulier !
A la négation et à
l'interrogation apparaît l'auxiliaire
do,
qui devient donc does
à la 3° personne du singulier.
Il se conjugue de la manière suivante à la voix active pour le verbe 'work':
| Forme affirmative | Forme négative | Forme interrogative | ||
| complète | complète | contractée | affirmative | négative contractée |
| I work | I do not work | I don't work | Do I work? | Don't I work? |
| he works | he does not work | he doesn't work | Does he work? | Doesn't he work? |
| we work | we do not work | we don't work | Do we work? | Don't we work? |
| you work | you do not work | you don't work | Do you work? | Don't you work? |
| they work | they do not work | they don't work | Do they work? | Don't they work? |
| Exercice | Exercice | Exercice | Exercice | |
Pour la traduction du présent de l'indicatif français, il s'oppose souvent au Present Be + Ving et parfois au Present perfect.
