simple present tense
We use simple present to talk about things in
general, we are not thinking only about the present.
We use it to say that some thing happens all the
time or repeatedly, or that some thing is true in
general. It is not important whether the action is
happening at the time of speaking.

the main verb or es to the auxiliary.
3. In interrogative and negative we remove s or es  to 
the main verb in 3rd person singular.
