    person singular (he, she, it).
    I drink – he drinks We use the Present Simple:
    I run – he runs

    BUT we do regularly:
    • We add –es to verbs that end in –ss, He visits his friends every
    -sh, -ch, -x, -o. Sunday.
    I watch – he watches She goes to school by bus.

    • With verbs ending in consonant + y, • for general truths:


    we change the –y to –ies. The sun rises in the East.
    I cry – he cries
    But with verbs ending in vowel + y, • for permanent situations:
    we just add –s as usual. He lives in Athens.
