2. But when the verb ends in:

a) –o, -ss, -sh, -ch, -x we add –es

→
→
→
→

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


add -s
→ try - he/she/it tries

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

→ enjoy - he/she/it enjoys

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.

A. Choose the correct form of the verb in brackets to complete


the sentences.

1. Ella ___________________ in Manchester. (live / lives)


2. Eric ___________________ chess. (play / plays)
3. Jean ___________________ at night. (study / studies)
4. Leonard ___________________ his homework in the bedroom. (do / does)
5. Mr Elliot ___________________ in an office. (work / works)
