Present Simple Tense (সাধারণ বর্তমান কাল)
Introductionভূমিকা
The present simple tense (also called the present indefinite) is the first tense every English learner needs. We use it for habits, routines, facts and things that are generally true — the everyday backbone of English.
Present simple tense (present indefinite নামেও পরিচিত) ইংরেজি শেখার প্রথম tense। অভ্যাস, রুটিন, সত্য ও সাধারণভাবে সত্য বিষয় বোঝাতে এটি ব্যবহার করি — ইংরেজির প্রতিদিনের ভিত্তি।
Definitionসংজ্ঞা
The present simple uses the base form of the verb, adding -s or -es for he/she/it: I work, She works, They play.
Present simple-এ verb-এর base form বসে; he/she/it-এর সাথে -s বা -es যোগ হয়। যেমন — I work, She works, They play।
Bangla Explanationবাংলা ব্যাখ্যা
নিয়ম: I / we / you / they-এর সাথে verb-এর মূল রূপ (work, go, play)। he / she / it (একবচন)-এর সাথে verb-এ -s বা -es যোগ হয় (works, goes, plays)। প্রশ্ন ও না-বোধক বাক্যে do / does ব্যবহার হয়: “Do you like tea?”, “She does not eat meat.” always, usually, often, every day — এই শব্দগুলো present simple-এর সাথে আসে।

Common Mistakesসাধারণ ভুল
She go to school.
She goes to school.
With he/she/it we add -s/-es to the verb (go → goes).
He doesn't likes coffee.
He doesn't like coffee.
After 'does/doesn't' the main verb goes back to its base form (like, not likes).
Do she know you?
Does she know you?
With he/she/it, questions use 'does', not 'do'.
Tipsটিপস
- Only the he/she/it form changes — everything else uses the plain verb. — শুধু he/she/it রূপ বদলায় — বাকি সব জায়গায় verb-এর মূল রূপ বসে।
- Once you add 'does' or 'doesn't', drop the -s from the main verb. — 'does' বা 'doesn't' বসালে মূল verb থেকে -s বাদ দিন।
