The simple present tense

•We use the present simple for things that are true in general, or things that happen sometimes or all the time.

The simple forms that end in letter s, ss, sh, ch, x, z, or o that preceded by a consonant:

Cross Crosses = menyebrang (i)Pass Passes = Melewati/LulusTeachTeaches` = mengajarWatch watches = memperhatikan/ menonotonBrush brushes = menyikat/menyekaWash washes = mencuciGo goes = pergiDo does = melakukanBox boxes = memasukan di dalam kotak, mempakQuiz quizzes` = menguji

The simple forms that end in /y/ which is preceded by consonant, the /es/ is added after changing /y/ into /i/

Cry cries = menangisDry dries = menjemur/mengeringkanFry fries = mengorengGlorify glorifies = memuja/mengagungkanHurry hurries= menyegarkan/tergesa-gesaFly flies = menerbangkan/terbangSpy spies = melihatStudy studies= belajarTry tries = mencoba

However, the simple forms that end in /y/ which is not preceded by a consonant (/y/ is preceded by a vowel), the /s/ is added without changing /y/ into /i/

•Say says = mengatakan•Play plays = bermain•Pray prays = berdo`a

 The /s/ is added to the simple

form of all other verbs, except /have/

Abduct abducts = menculikCome comes = datangListen listens = mendengarkanHear hears = mendengarSit sits = dudukSeat seats = mendudukanSpeak speaks = berbicaraSing sings = menyanyi
