Spelling tip

subtítulo aquí

In the present simple 3rd person singular (he, she, it), add s, es, or ies to the base form of the verb.

• To regular verbs just add an s – Ex: travel >travels, give > gives, play >plays
• To verbs that end in s, ss, sh, ch, x, and o, add an es – Ex: wash > washes, mix > mixes, go >goes
• To verbs end in y after a consonant (any letter that isn’t a vowel), change the y to i and add es. Ex: study > studies, fly > flies
