Само название Present Simple переводится как “настоящее простое” время. Иногда вместо слова Simple можно встретить термин Indefinite, но вы должны знать, что в контексте рассматриваемого времени это взаимозаменяемые слова. Тем не менее, в современной грамматике термин Simple неоспоримо превалирует.
Само слово Simple (простой) указывает на то, что это время образуется при простой (одной) глагольной формы. Например, предложение “Я говорю” в Present Simple будет выглядеть как I speak, т.е. оно образовано при одной формы speak. Другие времена для своего образования требуют вс глаголы. Например, то же самое предложение I speak в Present Continuous представится как I am speaking, а во времени Present Perfect – I have spoken.
