6. Grammar rules #1
To form the Simple Present we add -s to the infinitive of the verb in the 3rd person
singular (he, she, it) E.g. I live He/she/it lives
I sing /you sing/we sing/ they sing.
He/she/it sings
I speak
he speaks
7. Grammar rule #2
when the verb ends in a) -o, -ss, -sh, -ch, -x we add -es
E.g. I go He/she/it goes I kiss He/she/it kisses
I watch
He/she/it watches I wash He/she/it washes
I fix He/she/it fixes
8. Grammar rule #3
Consonant followed by –y, the –y changes into - ie and we add -s
E.g. I study He/she/it studies
c) a vowel followed by –y we just add -s E.g. I play He/she plays
9. Grammar rule #3
Form the negative and the interrogative we need the auxiliary verb to do in the
present simple. This means we have to add -es in the 3rd person singular (he,
she, it) while the main verb will be used in the infinitive.
E.g. He likes to dance.
he does not (doesn't) like to dance.
does he like to dance
