Present Simple worksheet featuring exercises to practice verb conjugation in the present tense.

Let’s go through each sentence one by one. We’re choosing between two verb forms: the base form (like “clean”) and the third-person singular form (like “cleans”). In Present Simple tense, we add -s or -es to the verb only when the subject is he, she, or it — or a single person/thing that acts like “he/she/it”.
