The Present Indefinite tense
Formation: The Present Indefinite is the first form of the verb (the infinitive without the particle to) for all persons singular and plural except the third person singular where the suffix -s (-es) is added to the stem of the verb.
The negative and interrogative forms are formed by means of the auxiliary verb to do in the Present Indefinite (do / does).
Note: The contracted negative forms are don't and doesn't.
