We add –s to the verb to form the third person singular (he, she, it).
I drink – he drinks I run – he runs
BUT
We add –es to verbs that end in –ss,
-sh, -ch, -x, -o. We use the Present Simple:
I watch – he watches for habits and actions that we do regularly:
With verbs ending in consonant + y, we change the –y to –ies. He visits his friends every Sunday.
I cry – he cries She goes to school by bus.
But with verbs ending in vowel + y, we just add –s as usual. for general truths:
I play – he plays The sun rises in the East.
for permanent situations: He lives in Athens.
