  • In the third person singular the verb always ends in -s:
    he likes, she wants, he works, she thinks.
  • Negative and question forms use DOES (= the third person of the auxiliary 'DO') + the infinitive of the verb.
    He likes ice cream. Does he want tea? He does not want coffee.
  • Verbs ending in -y : the third person changes the -y to -ies:
    fly --> flies, cry --> cries
    Exception: if there is a vowel before the -y:
    play --> plays, pray --> prays
  • Add -es to verbs ending in:-ss, -x, -sh, -ch:
    he passes, she catches, he fixes, it pushes
