We use the Present Simple Tense:
http://www.studyenglishtoday.net/Sma...s/mini_r00.gif To form the Present Simple Tense we use the verb's base form (go, work, speak, study). In 3rd person singular (he, she, it), the base form of the verb takes -s/es. (Auxiliary verbs "be," "do," "have", which can also be used as main verbs, are exceptions.)
