The present simple

Remember:

I  + verb

you + verb

he/she/it + verb + s

we + verb

you + verb

they + verb

and this one: 

* The verb ends in a snake-sound: he/she/it + verb + es

kiss : he kisses

watch TV : she watches TV

* The last letter of the verb is a –y

the letter before the –y is a vowel (a,e,u,i,o) : he/she/it + verb + s

play: he plays

the letter before the -y is a consonant: the -y changes into an ie

try: she tries

* Study these exceptions:

go : he goes

do: he does
