English Grammar Rules

The simple present tense in English is used to describe an action that is regular, true or normal.

We use the present tense:
1. For repeated or regular actions in the present time period. 2. For facts. 3. For habits. 4. For things that are always / generally true.

Verb Conjugation & Spelling

We form the present tense using the base form of the infinitive (without the TO).

In general, in the third person we add ' S' in the third person.

The spelling for the verb in the third person differs depending on the ending of that verb:

1. For verbs that end in -O, -CH, -SH, -SS, -X, or -Z we add -ES in the third person.

go - goes

catch - catches

wash - washes

kiss - kisses

fix - fixes

buzz - buzzes

2. For verbs that end in a consonant + Y, we remove the Y and add-IES.

marry - marries

study - studies

carry - carries

worry - worries

NOTE: For verbs that end in a vowel + Y, we just add -S.

play - plays

enjoy - enjoys

say - says

Negative Sentences in the Simple Present Tense

To make a negative sentence in English we normally use Don't or Doesn't with all verbs EXCEPT To Be and Modal verbs (can, might, should etc.).

Affirmative: You speak French.
Negative: You don't speak French.

You will see that we add don't between the subject and the verb. We use Don't when the subject is I, you, we or they.

Affirmative: He speaks German.
Negative: He doesn't speak German.

When the subject is he, she or it, we add doesn't between the subject and the verb to make a negative sentence. Notice that the letter S at the end of the verb in the affirmative sentence (because it is in third person) disappears in the negative sentence. We will see the reason why below.

Negative Contractions

I don't like meat = I do not like meat.

There is no difference in meaning though we normally use contractions in spoken English.

Word Order of Negative Sentences

The following is the word order to construct a basic negative sentence in English in the Present Tense using Don't or Doesn't.

* Verb: The verb that goes here is the base form of the infinitive = The infinitive without TO before the verb. Instead of the infinitive To have it is just the have part.

Remember that the infinitive is the verb before it is conjugated (changed) and it begins with TO. For example: to have, to eat, to go, to live, to speak etc.
Examples of Negative Sentences with Don't and Doesn't:

Questions in the Simple Present Tense

To make a question in English we normally use Do or Does. It has no translation in Spanish though it is essential to show we are making a question. It is normally put at the beginning of the question.

Affirmative: You speak English.
Question: Do you speak English?

You will see that we add DO at the beginning of the affirmative sentence to make it a question. We use Do when the subject is I, you, we or they.

Affirmative: He speaks French.
Question: Does he speak French?

When the subject is he, she or it, we add DOES at the beginning to make the affirmative sentence a question. Notice that the letter S at the end of the verb in the affirmative sentence (because it is in third person) disappears in the question. We will see the reason why below.

We DON'T use Do or Does in questions that have the verb To Be or Modal Verbs (can, must, might, should etc.)

Word Order of Questions with Do and Does

The following is the word order to construct a basic question in English using Do or Does.

*Verb: The verb that goes here is the base form of the infinitive = The infinitive without TO before the verb. Instead of the infinitive To have it is just the have part.

Remember that the infinitive is the verb before it is conjugated (changed) and it begins with TO. For example: to have, to eat, to go, to live, to speak etc.
Examples of Questions with Do and Does:

Do you need a dictionary?

Does Mary need a dictionary?

Do we have a meeting now?

Does it rain a lot in winter?

Do they want to go to the party?

Does he like pizza?

Short Answers with Do and Does

In questions that use do/does it is possible to give short answers to direct questions as follows:

However, if a question word such as who, when, where, why, which or how is used in the question, you can not use the short answers above to respond to the question.

¿Sabes cómo usar how much y how many en inglés?

Hoy es tu día...

Porque lo vamos a ver aquí.

Hace mucho tiempo escribí un artículo sobre cómo usar contable e incontable. La versión corta de la respuesta, entonces, es que how much se usa con algo incontable y how many con algo contable.

Pero la verdad es que es un tema algo más largo y merece más atención.

Primero, vamos a ver un poco sobre las reglas generales de los sustantivos contables e incontables en inglés.

Vamos allá...

Contable e incontable en inglés

Para repasar un poco:

En la gramática, un sustantivo contable se refiere a algo que se puede contar, algo que acepta un número y tiene una forma plural.
Ejemplos de sustantivos contables: two girls, three people, twenty-five cats, a million dollars, two cookies, five bottles, four apples, seven gigabytes, sixteen potatoes, ten books, etc.
People, por cierto, es la forma plural de person, y así es contable.

Pero muchas cosas son incontables: rice, water, meat, money, time, fruit, bread, air, wine, coffee, tea y mucho más.

Casi todas las cosas incontables se pueden contar de una forma u otra: two cups of rice, five litres of water, three pieces of meat, two euros, ten minutes, six kilos of fruit, eight loaves of bread.

Así contamos algo más específico: kilos, litros, barras de pan, etc.

Cómo usar how much y how many en inglés

Entran en juego how much y how many cuando hacemos preguntas.

How much = cuánto (se usa para preguntar la cantidad de algo incontable)

H ow many = cuántos (se usa para preguntar el número de algo contable).
Q: How much did your jacket cost? A: Not much. I got it on sale last year. Q: How many apples did you eat? A: Not many. Just two, I think. Q: How many cows live on your father's farm? A: Not many. Only 10 or 12.
Así vamos a ver un par de ejemplos:
Q: How much meat should I buy? A: Hm. I guess you should get a kilo. Q: And how much wine should I get? A: Get two bottles, just in case.
Lo que pasa con how much es que muchas veces tenemos que entrar en territorio contable (incluso con cosas incontables) para contestar con una medida exacta.

Aquí get significa "comprar." Aquí, si quieres, puedes encontrar: expresiones con GET y más expresiones con GET.

Más ejemplos del uso de how much y how many
Q: How much time do we have before the train leaves? A: We have about 20 minutes. Do you want to get a drink?
Aquí tienes unos ejemplos más de preguntas y respuestas. Fíjate que no siempre se contesta en la misma forma de la pregunta.
Q: How much does this sweater cost? A: That one costs 40€.
( Time es incontable, pero sí podemos contar minutos para ser más específicos)
Q: How many people were at the party? A: I think there were about 20 people.
( Money también es incontable, pero sí contamos dólares, euros, etc.)
Q: How much money does he earn? A: I don't know, but he earns a lot more than I do. Q: How much water do you drink every day? A: I drink about two liters of water every day. More if it's hot. Q: How much coffee do you drink? A: Not much. Just a cup every morning before work. Q: How much rice is grown every year in China? A: No idea, but I'm sure it's a lot. A million tons?
( People sigue siendo contable, aunque en español "la gente" es incontable.)
Q: How many gigabytes of memory does your computer have? A: It has about 120 gigabytes, but the memory is almost full.
( Rice es incontable, pero tendríamos que contar toneladas.)

How much y how many en frases afirmativas y negativas

También podemos usar how much y how many en frases afirmativas y negativas - no solo en preguntas.

I know how much you worked on this project, and I really appreciate it. (Hablando de work, un sustantivo incontable.)

It doesn't matter how many times you ask. The answer is no! (Hablando de times, que son veces.)

I'd like to know how many people are coming to the party. (People es contable, otra vez.)

Please tell me how much it costs. (Hablando de money, un sustantivo incontable.)

Los primeros ejemplos son afirmaciones, los otros son "preguntas indirectas". Pero igual se usa how much para algo incontable y how many para contable.

En fin...

Entonces eso. Contable e incontable es una larga historia. Y también se puede decir mucho sobre how much y how many.

Hay una explicación más larga en mi curso online Inglés Básico: todo lo esencial para hispanohablantes (además de mucho más de la gramática y vocabulario más importante del inglés.

Buen aprendizaje,

Daniel.

P.D. Si buscas más sobre el uso de how, echa un vistazo a how big, how tall, how long, etc. Hay mucho más que se puede hacer con how y un adjetivo, al final. Y si realmente quieres aprender mucho ingles, suscríbete a mis lecciones por correo.

You speak English, don't you?

A tag question is a special construction in English. It is a statement followed by a mini-question. We use tag questions to ask for confirmation. They mean something like: "Is that right?" or "Do you agree?" They are very common in English.

The basic structure of a tag question is:

Notice that the tag repeats the auxiliary verb (or main verb when be) from the statement and changes it to negative or positive.

Positive Statement Tag Questions

Look at these examples with positive statements. You will see that most of the time, the auxiliary verb from the positive statement is repeated in the tag and changed to negative.
Notice:

the use of do in the two coffee questions. Remember that in Present Simple, do is optional in positive statements (You like coffee/You do like coffee). But the do must appear in the tag. The same applies to Past Simple did.

in last two questions, no auxiliary for main verb be in Present Simple and Past Simple. The tag repeats the main verb.

Negative Statement Tag Questions

Look at these examples with negative statements. Notice that the negative verb in the original statement is changed to positive in the tag.
Notice:

won't is the contracted form of will not

the tag repeats the auxiliary verb, not the main verb. Except, of course, for the verb be in Present Simple and Past Simple.

Answering Tag Questions

How do we answer a tag question? Often, we just say Yes or No. Sometimes we may repeat the tag and reverse it (They don't live here, do they? Yes, they do). Be very careful about answering tag questions. In some languages, an opposite system of answering is used, and non-native English speakers sometimes answer in the wrong way. This can lead to a lot of confusion!

Answer a tag question according to the truth of the situation. Your answer reflects the real facts, not (necessarily) the question.

For example, everyone knows that snow is white. Look at these questions, and the correct answers:

In some languages, people answer a question like "Snow isn't black, is it?" with "Yes" (meaning "Yes, I agree with you"). This is the wrong answer in English!

Here are some more examples, with correct answers:

The moon goes round the earth, doesn't it? Yes, it does.

The earth is bigger than the moon, isn't it? Yes.

The earth is bigger than the sun, isn't it? No, it isn't!

Asian people don't like rice, do they? Yes, they do!

Elephants live in Europe, don't they? No, they don't!

Men don't have babies, do they? No.

The English alphabet doesn't have 40 letters, does it? No, it doesn't.

Tag Question Special Cases

Negative adverbs

The adverbs never, rarely, seldom, hardly, barely and scarcely have a negative sense. Even though they may be in a positive statement, the feeling of the statement is negative. We treat statements with these words like negative statements, so the question tag is normally positive. Look at these examples:

Intonation

We can change the meaning of a tag question with the musical pitch of our voice. With rising intonation, it sounds like a real question. But if our intonation falls, it sounds more like a statement that doesn't require a real answer:

Imperatives

Sometimes we use question tags with imperatives (invitations, orders), but the sentence remains an imperative and does not require a direct answer. We use won't for invitations. We use can, can't, will, would for orders.

Take a seat, won't you?

polite invitation

Help me, can you?

quite friendly

Help me, can't you?

quite friendly (some irritation?)

Close the door, would you?

quite polite

Do it now, will you.

less polite

Don't forget, will you.

with negative imperatives only will is possible

Same-way tag questions

Although the basic structure of tag questions is positive-negative or negative-positive, it is sometimes possible to use a positive-positive or negative-negative structure. We use same-way tag questions to express interest, surprise, anger etc, and not to make real questions.

Look at these positive-positive tag questions:

So you're having a baby, are you? That's wonderful!

She wants to marry him, does she? Some chance!

So you think that's funny, do you? Think again.

Negative-negative tag questions usually sound rather hostile:

So you don't like my looks, don't you? (British English)

Asking for information or help

Notice that we often use tag questions to ask for information or help, starting with a negative statement. This is quite a friendly/polite way of making a request. For example, instead of saying "Where is the police station?" (not very polite), or "Do you know where the police station is?" (slightly more polite), we could say: "You wouldn't know where the police station is, would you?" Here are some more examples:

You don't know of any good jobs, do you?

You couldn't help me with my homework, could you?

You haven't got $10 to lend me, have you?

Some more special cases

Mixed Examples of Tag Questions

Here is a list of examples of tag questions in different contexts. Notice that some are "normal" and others seem to break all the rules:

But you don't really love her, do you?

This'll work, won't it?

Oh you think so, do you?

Well, I couldn't help it, could I?

But you'll tell me if she calls, won't you?

We'd never have known, would we?

Oh you do, do you?

The weather's bad, isn't it?

You won't be late, will you?

Nobody knows, do they?

You never come on time, do you?

You couldn't help me, could you?

You think you're clever, do you?

So you don't think I can do it, don't you? (British English)

Shut up, will you!

She can hardly love him after all that, can she?

Nothing will happen, will it?

Now, let's check your understanding of tag questions, shall we?
