By

👩‍🏫Dear students, 
In Present Simple tense, when we talk about he, she, or it, we must change the verb slightly.

📘 Rule 1: Add -s to most verbs
💡 Use this when the verb is regular and doesn’t end in -ch, -sh, -s, -x, -o, or -y after a consonant.
👉 Just add -s to the verb.
✅ Examples:
  1. run → runs
  2. eat → eats
  3. walk → walks
  4. play → plays
  5. jump → jumps
  6. swim → swims
  7. read → reads
  8. cook → cooks
  9. dance → dances
  10. drink → drinks
  11. sleep → sleeps
  12. write → writes
  13. work → works
  14. climb → climbs
  15. drive → drives
  16. look → looks
  17. call → calls
  18. help → helps
  19. talk → talks
  20. smile → smiles

📘 Rule 2: Add -es to verbs ending in -ch, -sh, -s, -x, -o
💡 If the verb ends in these letters, add -es.
✅ Examples:
  1. go → goes
  2. do → does
  3. watch → watches
  4. wash → washes
  5. pass → passes
  6. fix → fixes
  7. push → pushes
  8. mix → mixes
  9. wish → wishes
  10. catch → catches
  11. miss → misses
  12. buzz → buzzes
  13. box → boxes
  14. toss → tosses
  15. match → matches
  16. kiss → kisses
  17. stitch → stitches
  18. march → marches
  19. echo → echoes
  20. veto → vetoes

📘 Rule 3: Change -y to -ies (if there is a consonant before -y)
💡 If the verb ends in a consonant + y, drop the y and add -ies.
✅ Examples:
  1. study → studies
  2. cry → cries
  3. try → tries
  4. carry → carries
  5. fly → flies
  6. reply → replies
  7. copy → copies
  8. worry → worries
  9. hurry → hurries
  10. marry → marries
  11. deny → denies
  12. dry → dries
  13. apply → applies
  14. satisfy → satisfies
  15. rely → relies
  16. modify → modifies
  17. amplify → amplifies
  18. terrify (Extreme fear) → terrifies
  19. unify → unifies
  20. occupy → occupies

📘 Special Note:
💡 If a verb ends in a vowel + 'y' (like play, enjoy, etc.), you do not change the 'y' — simply add -s.
✅ 20 Verbs Where a Vowel Comes Before 'Y' – Just Add -s
  1. play → plays
  2. enjoy → enjoys
  3. say → says
  4. stay → stays
  5. obey → obeys
  6. delay → delays
  7. pray → prays
  8. relay → relays
  9. repay → repays
  10. betray → betrays
  11. annoy (irritate) → annoys
  12. employ → employs
  13. deploy → deploys
  14. convey → conveys
  15. decay (slowly destroyed, Weaker) → decays
  16. stray (away) → strays
  17. survey → surveys
  18. portray → portrays
  19. display → displays
  20. slay (to kill) → slays
