Frequently asked questions

When do I add -s in the simple present tense?

Add -s or -es to the verb when the subject is he, she, it or a single third-person noun, as in she walks or the bus arrives. Other subjects, such as I, you, we and they, use the base form.

Does the simple present always describe what is happening now?

No. It describes habits, routines, facts and schedules, such as the train leaves at seven. For actions happening at this moment, English uses the present continuous.

Can I export my quiz to PDF or Word?

Yes, PDF and DOCX export is included on the Plus plan at $99.90/year or $9.99/month. The free plan lets you study in the browser, and Pro adds QTI 2.1 and Moodle XML export.
