Introduction

Jednostavno sadašnje vrijeme [present simple] je glagolsko vrijeme koje se koristi za izricanje radnji koje se redovito događaju i stalno ponavljaju.

Kada se koristi u potvrdnom obliku, glagol potvrđuje nešto o subjektu.

    • Glagoli koji završavaju na suglasnik + -y: mijenjamo -y u -i i dodajemo -es (cry ⇒ cries);
