Bahasa Inggris mempunyai beberapa jenis tenses yang menerangkan bentuk waktu. Salah satu yang paling simpel dan paling sering dipakai ialah Simple Present Tense.
Simple Present Tense juga tenses yang pertama kali dipelajari pada dikala kita mulai berguru Bahasa Inggris.
Simple Present Tense dipakai pada dikala kita ingin menyampaikan suatu kebiasaan, atau kegiatan rutin yang sering dilakukan setiap hari, dan fakta umum.
Kata Present sendiri mempunyai arti dikala ini. Meskipun begitu kita tidak memakai Simple Present Tense untuk menyatakan insiden yang prosesnya sedang berlangsung.

Kalimat dalam Simple Present Tense mempunyai dua jenis yaitu kalimat lisan (kalimat yang mempunyai kata kerja pada posisi predikat), dan kalimat nominal (kalimat yang tidak mempunyai kata kerja, sebagai gantinya kita menempatkan To be pada posisi predikat).
Ciri dari Simple Present Tense biasanya memakai kata keterangan waktu seperti: Always, Usually, Often, Every day, Every morning, Every night, Frequently, Generally, Sometimes, Seldom, Never, Nowadays.

Subject merupakan pelaku atau unsur utama dari sebuah kalimat.
Jenis subject yang dipakai akan memilih apakah (Verb 1) kata kerja akan ditambahkan akhiran -s/-es atau tidak.

Untuk subject jamak (lebih dari satu) seperti: We, They, Luke and Frank (nama orang lebih dari satu), termasuk I & You maka (Verb 1) tidak perlu ditambahkan akhiran -s/-es.
