to speak - The one ending English has
- I
- speak
- you
- speak
- he / she
- speaks
- we
- speak
- they
- speak
One ending in the whole tense: he and she take -s, nobody else takes anything. Most present simple mistakes are that single letter, so the course drills it early.
Built for English, specifically
Not one course photocopied six times. Each language gets the tools its own difficulties actually call for.
