 2. But when the verb ends in:

a) –o, -ss, -sh, -ch, we add –es

→
cross→ crosses

→
→

b) a consonant followed by –y, the –y changes into –ie and we

add -s
→

c) a vowel followed by –y we just add -s

3. To form the negative and the interrogative we need the auxiliary

verb to do in the present simple. This means we have to add –es
in the 3rd person singular (he, she, it) while the main verb will
be used in the infinitive.
