Let’s go through each question one by one. We’re using the
Present Simple tense, which means we talk about things that happen regularly or are always true.
The rule is:
- If the subject is
he, she, it, or a singular noun (like “my dog”, “Carmen”, “the teacher”), we add
-s or
-es to the verb.
- If the subject is
I, you, we, they, or plural nouns (like “my parents”, “girls”, “bears”), we use the base form of the verb — no -s.
Also, watch out for spelling rules:
- Verbs ending in -ch, -sh, -x, -o, -ss → add
-es
- Verbs ending in consonant + y → change y to i and add
-es
- Otherwise → just add
-s
