To form the Simple Present Tense, we use the verb's base form (go, work, speak, study). In third person singular (he/she/ it), the base form of the verb takes -s/es. (Auxiliary verb "be", "do", "have", which can also be used as main verbs, are exceptions).

I always drink honey lemon juice.


The pupils make the face masks by themselves.

Yu Zhe learns to read newspaper.


A big tortoise crawls on the ground.

She has garlic bread and mushroom soup for breakfast.
