Present Simple: -s third person singular (he, she, it) in affirmative sentences



In Present Simple affirmative form, we add an -s to the verb in the 3rd person singular (he, she, it).


There are spelling rules for that -s we add to the verb:

1. General rule: Add -s to the verb

to walk: she walks      to stop: it stops


2. Verbs ending in -s, -x, -sh, -ch, -o:  add -es to the verb

to kiss:  he kisses    to mix: she mixes   to push: he pushes

3. Verbs ending in consonant +y: drop -y and add -ies

(but verbs ending in vowel +y: general rule.  to play:it plays)
