Simple Present Tense

Simple Present Tense Simple present tense definition The simple present tense is one of several forms of the present tense in English. The present simple one of the most commonly used tenses in the English language. We use the simple present tense when describing things that are true, or when it happens regularly (or unceasingly, which is why it’s sometimes called present indefinite). The present tense is the base form of the verb. But with the third person singular (she/he/it), we add an –s. The present simple tense uses We often use adverbs of frequency like sometimes, always, and never with the present simple tense He is always late. I never play baseball. She often cooks dinner at 5 p.m. Some other signal words: usually, often, sometimes, seldom every day/week/month/… To express habits, general truths, repeated actions or  unchanging situations, emotions and wishes Habit Unchanging situations: A general truth He rides a bike every day. I work in London.  Beijing is a large city. To give advice, directions or instructions You go straight ahead and then turn right. Please practice English for thirty minutes a day! To express fixed arrangements, present or future Our exam ends at 3 p.m. That soccer match starts at 9 a.m. To express future time, after some conjunctions  such as after, when, before, as soon as, until He’ll give it to you when you come next Saturday. Stative verbs and verbs of thought/memory  (like, love, need, prefer,…) He likes playing football. I prefer to read comics. I need some coffee. Conjugation of English Simple Present Tense In the present simple tense, most regular verbs use the root form, except in the third-person singular (which ends in -s). The third-person singular ends with -es instead of -s. Typically, these are verbs whose root form ends in o, ch, sh, ss, x, or z. Some verbs that end in -y will be changed to -ies. Example: fly –> flies, cry –> cries. There is an exception to this rule when there is a vowel before the -y: play –> plays, pray –> prays The verb to be is irregular: affirmative sentence (because it is in the third person) disappears in the negative sentence. Importantly, contractions should not be used in formal written English such as essays or applications. They are mainly used in spoken and informal written English Examples:  I don’t go to school on Sunday. You don’t go to school on Sunday. We don’t want to swim. They don’t go to work. He doesn’t work hard. She doesn’t work hard. It doesn’t work well. Make the verb to be negative [to be] + not I am not a student. He is not a student = He isn’t a student. They are not late = They aren’t late. Questions in the Simple Present Tense To make a question in English we put Do/Does, Is/Are, or modal verbs (can, must, might,…) at the beginning of the question. We use Do when the subject is I, you, we, or they. When the subject is he, she or it, we add Does You speak English → He speaks French. –> Do you speak English? Does he speak French? Notice that the letter S at the end of the verb in the affirmative sentence (because it is in the third person) disappears in the question. We do not use Do or Does in questions that have the verb To Be or Modal Verbs (can, must, might, should,…) Wh- questions in the Simple Present Tense Wh-questions are questions that require more information in their answers. They are made using Wh- words such as what, where, when, why, which, who, how, how many, how much,… To make a Wh- question, use the same word order as with yes-no questions but put a question word before the verb do or does. Wh- question + do/does + Subject + Verb (infinitive without “to”) + Object? Examples: Where do you live? When does the train arrive? How do you go to school? How much does it cost? Why does he go to the movie theater? Tenses table Look at the present simple tense table below to review the lessons.

No Risk

#NO_Risk!

बचपन में जब मेरी समझदानी न के बराबर थी तो सड़क वाले रास्ते को पार कराते अक्सर माता पिता मेरा हाथ मजबूती से पकड़ लेते थे । जिसका मतलब हुआ कि मैं उन पर निर्भर हैं। No Risk!

जब थोड़ा बहुत बड़ा हुआ तो समझ का भी बढ़ोतरी हुई कि मैं सड़क पार करते अपने पेरेंट्स का विश्वास तोड़ अपना हाथ छुड़वा उनकी ऊँगली को कस कर पकड़ने लगा। जबकि उनकी नज़र में तब भी मैं तब भी बच्चा था । मतलब, मुझे इतनी समझ आ गई कि ऊँगली छूटी नहीं तो चोट लग सकती है, यानि No Risk!

सो धीरे धीरे नॉलेज ने जोखिम उठाना सीखा दिया। उसके बाद समय बीतते माता पिता की ऊँगली भी छोड़ दी यानि कि अब वो रिस्क जो अब उनका कम बल्कि अपना अधिक हो गया । Risk!

यह तो रही सांसारिक रूटीन और अपनी योग्यता अनुसार जो कि जरूरी है ।

अब हम इसी बात को हम माता पिता को गुरु के संज्ञान से जोड़े, तो माता पिता की जगह गुरु की नज़र हम पर है।और उनके द्वारा दर्शाए अध्यात्मक जीवन और उसके ज्ञान से चाहे जितने समझदार है पर हम अब भी बच्चे है और रहना भी चाहिए।

 क्योंकि गुरु के दिखाए रास्ते यानि उन के हाथ में अपना हाथ लिए नहीं बल्कि दिए हुए ही हम इन विकारों से भरी जोखिम वाली सड़क को पार कर सकते हैं । और हमारा स्वभाव यानि nature वैसे भी अपने स्वार्थ व् विकारों से भरा पड़ा है ।

वर्ना, जब भी हम अपना हाथ छुड़ा, उनकी ऊँगली को पकड़ने की समझ के हुए तो सारा रिस्क अपनी जिम्मेवारी पर आ जाएगा ।

तो यह बात हमारे  स्वार्थ हित ही सही,आध्यात्मिक जीवन में सफलता के लिये #गंभीर'ता से सोचने समझने की जरूरत है ।.
