1. In Simple Present Tense, we add the suffix -s at the end of the verbs for the third singular
subjects ( He, She, It ) . On the other hand, we use first forms of the verbs for other subjects ( I,
You, We, You, They).
2. Although we add the suffix -s at the end of the verb for the third singular subjects in possitive
sentences, We remove the suffix -s at the end of the verb in questions and negative
sentences because of being used ‘does’ or ‘doesn’t’ as an auxillary verb.
