Microsoft PowerPoint is one of Microsoft's Apps, next to Microsoft Word and Microsoft Excel, many times are already known. These three apps are commonly called Microsoft Office. Basically, a Microsoft PowerPoint application helps the user present the presentation. The application provided a sliding facility to accommodate the main points of the discussion contributed to the audience. With animation facilities, the split, push and wipe transition, a slide can be modified beautifully. As well as facilities: the fonts, sound, and effect can be used to make a better slide. We can also use page set up to organize pages and alignment to tidy up writing. Then we can apply the background to the PowerPoint. If this situation can be presented, we can draw the audiences' attention to what we want to say.

Each piece of presentation of the material is called the slide. For the currently built slides to be attractive, it is better to make the point that needs to be included on the slide in general. It is followed by sub-points from each existing point and complete to the picture, the slide's caricature. Do not forget to give the bullet, the font, and the color excited at the essential point to be the center of attention. By following these stages, our goal of presenting the critical topic can effectively be appreciated by the audience.

Instruction: Understanding the following language Focus!

Simple Present Tenses

The simple present is a verb tense with two main uses. We use the simple present tense when an action is happening right now or when it happens regularly (or unceasingly, which is why it’s sometimes called present indefinite). Depending on the person, the simple present tense is formed by using the root form or adding ‑s or -es to the end.

Formula :

1.      Nominal Simple Present

(+) S + to be (am/is/are) + adjective/adverb

(-) Subject + to be (am/is/are) + not + adverb

(?) To be (am/is/are) + S + adjective/adverb?

Form	Subject (S)	Pattern
		Positive (+)	Interrogative (?)	Negative (-)
Nominal	I	S + am	Am + S	S + am + not
	He, she, it	S + is	Is + S	S + is + not
	You, we, they	S + are	Are + S	S + are + not

 

Ø  Example :      

(+) PowerPoint is an application user friendly

(-) PowerPoint is not application user friendly

(?) Is the PowerPoint application user-friendly?

 

2.      Verbal Simple Present

(+) S + verb 1 (+ s/es) + O

(-) S + do/does + not + V 1 + O

(?) Does/Do + S + V 1 + O?
