what tense are the words that are in bold?

The correct answer is: present tense.

Explanation:

Present Simple Tense is the base form of the verb, which is an infinitive without to.

For example:

I live here.

In the third person of the singular (she/he/it), we add an –s:

She lives in New York.

He works near my house.

For example:

1. (I) work

2. (You) work

3. (He/She/It) works

1. (We) work

2. (You) work

3. (They) work

The extension -s in the third person of the singular can have different forms.

If the verb ends in –ch, –sh, –x, –ss, the extension will be –es:

She teaches English.

He kisses his friend.

If the verb ends in –y and if before the consonant, –y goes into -ies:

Jane cries a lot.

However, if we have a vowel before the -y, there is no change:

John plays football.

We use do and does to make questions with the Present Simple tense:

Do you live here?

Does she work in New York?

We use do not (don't) and does not (doesn't) to make negatives:

I don't have any money.

She doesn't have any siblings.

We use the Present Simple to talk about something that regularly happens in the present and something that is always true in the Present.

For example:

I play football every Sunday.

I am a teacher.
