How do i know when to put s or es in simple present for He/She/it ?

Hi, 

In the present tense, when the subject is he, she, or it, we typically add an ’s” to the verb, as in “he plays” or ’she walks’. 

If the verb ends in ch, sh, s, x, or o, we add es instead, like “she watches” or “he goes”. 

When the verb ends in a consonant and y, we change the y to ies, like he studies. However, if a vowel comes before the y, we just add an ’s”, as in “she plays”. With I, you, we, and they, we don’t add anything to the verb.

To enhance your comprehension, I suggest that you visit a specific web page from Alloprof:
