Can two simple present come in a sentence?

Yes, two simple present verbs can come in a sentence, but there are a few ways this can happen:

1. Compound Sentence: You can have two independent clauses, each with a simple present verb, connected by a coordinating conjunction like "and," "but," or "or."

* Example: She walks to school every day, and he runs track after class.

2. Complex Sentence: You can have a main clause with a simple present verb and a dependent clause with another simple present verb.

* Example: He likes to read books because they make him think about the world.

3. Coordinate Conjunctions: You can use coordinate conjunctions like "and," "but," or "or" to connect two simple present verbs within the same clause.

* Example: She eats fruit and drinks water every morning.

4. Imperative Verbs: You can have two imperative verbs (commands) in a sentence.

* Example: Go to the store and buy some milk.

Important Note: The two simple present verbs in a sentence must follow the rules of subject-verb agreement.
