Present simple : pale de abitid ak fèt

Present simple la jeneralman se premye tan vèb nou aprann an angle. Epi se pa pa aza : li sèvi pou pale de abitid, fèt ak bagay ki vre an jeneral. Nan kreyòl, vèb la pa chanje ditou (mwen travay, li travay, yo travay), kidonk -s an angle se sa ou pral bliye pi souvan, e se sa ki fè pèlen negasyon ak kesyon yo pi trèt.

Ki jan li fòme

Pou pifò sijè, nou senpleman sèvi ak fòm debaz vèb la.

• I work. You work. We work. They work.

Pou he / she / it, nou ajoute -s (oswa -es apre kèk lèt).

• He works. She watches TV. It rains a lot here.

Ki jan tèminezon -s sa a ekri

Vèb la fini ak	Nou ajoute	Egzanp
pifò lèt	-s	work → works
-ch, -sh, -s, -x, -o	-es	watch → watches, go → goes
konsòn + -y	-ies	study → studies
vwayèl + -y	-s	play → plays

De vèb senpleman iregilye : have → has, be → is.

Ki lè pou sèvi ak present simple

1. Abitid ak woutin chak jou

• I wake up at 7 every day.
• She drinks coffee every morning.

2. Fèt ki toujou vre

• Water boils at 100°C.
• The sun rises in the east.

3. Orè

• The train leaves at 6 PM.
• The store opens at 9.

4. Sitiyasyon pèmanan : kote nou rete, kote nou travay

• I live in Berlin.
• He works for a small company.

5. Santiman ak eta

Vèb tankou like, want, know, need, understand dekri yon eta, pa yon aksyon. Yo rete nan present simple menm lè se pou yon moman presi, kounye a menm. Kreyòl la fè menm bagay ak eta (Mwen vle yon kafe, pa Mwen ap vle), men pou lòt vèb yo, ap kreyòl la ka sèvi kote angle mande continuous la. Pou eta yo, règ la klè.

• I want a coffee. (pa I am wanting)
• She knows the answer. (pa She is knowing)

Règ senp : si yon bagay te vre semèn pase e li pral toujou vre semèn pwochen, ou prèske sèten bezwen present simple.

Negasyon ak kesyon

Se la debitan yo rankontre plis difikilte. An angle, nou bezwen yon vèb oksilyè — do oswa does — menm si li pa ajoute okenn sans anplis. An kreyòl, negasyon an mete pa devan vèb la (Mwen pa renmen kafe) epi kesyon an fòme ak entonasyon oswa eske : okenn nan de mekanis sa yo pa egziste an angle.

• ❌ I no like coffee.

• ✅ I don't like coffee.

• ❌ She like pizza?

• ✅ Does she like pizza?

Pa bliye : ak he/she/it, tèminezon -s la pase sou « does », epi vèb prensipal la pèdi pwòp -s li.

• ✅ She works. → ✅ She doesn't work. (pa « doesn't works »)
• ✅ He plays football. → ✅ Does he play football? (pa « Does he plays »)

Repons kout

Reponn ak vèb oksilyè a, pa ak vèb prensipal la. Yon senp Yes oswa No sonnen sèk.

• Do you speak French? — Yes, I do. / No, I don't.
• Does she live here? — Yes, she does. / No, she doesn't.

Ki jan sa ye nan lavi reyèl

Nouvo kòlèg : So what do you do here?

Ou : I work in the design team. I usually start at nine.

Nouvo kòlèg : Do you live nearby?

Ou : Not really — the train takes about forty minutes.

Isit la, chak fraz nan present simple, e sèl -s la parèt nan takes, paske tren an se it.
