Notes on the simple present, third person singular

  • In the third person singular the verb always ends in -s:
  • He wants, she needs, he gives, she thinks.
  • Negative and question forms use DOES (= the third person of the auxiliary 'DO') + the infinitive of the verb.
  • He wants ice cream. Does he want strawberry? He does not want vanilla.
  • Verbs ending in -y : the third person changes the -y to -ies:
  • fly --> flies, cry --> cries
  • Exception: if there is a vowel before the -y:
  • play --> plays, pray --> prays
  • Add -es to verbs ending in:-ss, -x, -sh, -ch
