Drink means take liquid into your mouth and swallow it.

The idea

Use drink with I or you and drinks with she or he in the present. The past form is drank. After does not, use the base form drink.

Examples

  • I drink water with lunch.
  • She drinks tea in the morning.
  • We drank coffee yesterday.
  • Can I drink this water?
  • The children are drinking milk.
  • He does not drink coffee.
