Let's learn how to make that present tense using the verb work. I work. This is the subject I and this is the werb work. You work. This is the singular form for you. For man use he. He works. We have to use s in the end of word works in the present tense. For a woman, she works. And for thing used it. It works. That -s, is very important in English in making the present tense. If you make mistake whit this then will be very noticeable.

The plural form for I and you is we. We work. The plural form for you is you. You work. And the plural form for he, she and it is they. They work.

The simple form of the verb work is work. The past tens is worked. Past tens has -ed. It's important to know the difference between the simple form in the past tense form when you are making the present tense to make a negative or question use do plus the simple form do or does. It depends on the subject.

To make the negative for the present tense use -do- or -does-, and *not* whit the simple form of the verb.

I do not work.

You do not work.

He does not work.

She does not work.

It does not work.

We do not work.

You do not work.

They do not work.

Most people use a contraction by adding do and not togehther. So, instead of saying donot, use don't.

I don't work.

You don't work.

He, she and it use doesn't.

He doesn't work.

She doesn't work.

It doesn't work.

Over here the plural always uses don't.

We don't work.

You don't work.

They don't work.

To make a question in the present tense put do or does before the subject. Here's the helping verb do, the subject is I and the main verb is in the simple form. If the subject is you, do was before the subject, and the main verb is here in the simple form.

If the subject is: he, she or it, use does in front of the subject and then the main verb in the simple form.

The plural always uses do.

Do we work?

Do you work? and

Do they work?
