—We use Simple Present tense to talk about actions that happen or are repeated as part of a routine or schedule, for habits or scientific facts.

Examples:
I play tennis.
She does not play tennis.
Does he play tennis?
The train leaves every morning at 8 AM.
The train does not leave at 9 AM.
When does the train usually leave?
She always forgets her purse.
He never forgets his wallet.
The Earth circles the Sun every twelve months





Form:
The form of the verb changes on Simple Present for 3rd person singular (He/She/It)

Example: I/You/We/They work/watch/fly/do.
                He/She/It works/watches/flies/does.

Spelling rules for He/She/It
