📝 Grammar Rules Applied:
-
For I / You / We / They (plural or second person) → use the
base form of the verb.
-
For He / She / It (third person singular) → add
-s or
-es to the verb.
- Add
-es if the verb ends in:
s, x, z, ch, sh, o (e.g., go → goes, watch → watches).
-
Negative sentences:
- Use
do not (for I/you/we/they) or
does not (for he/she/it).
- Followed by the
base form of the verb.
-
NO CONTRACTIONS: So write “do not” not “don’t”, and “does not” not “doesn’t”.
