-S or -ES?
With most verbs, the third person singular form is created simply by adding -S.
However, with some verbs, you need to add -ES or change the ending a little. Here are
the rules:
7 John ________ very hard in class, but I don't think he'll pass the
course. (try)
try
trys
tries
Mary and I (work) in the same office, but we're completely different. She (like)
coffee, but I (like) tea. She (wash) her car every weekend, but I never (clean) mine.
She (smile) all the time at work, but I (feel) miserable. I (complain) about the boss all
the time, but Mary (think) the boss is a nice person. When I (finish) work, I like to
drink beer with my friends, but Mary (study) at night school. The boss (think) Mary is
perfect, but she (drive) me nuts!
Forming the present continuous tense

the -ING form of a verb. Here are the rules, using the example verb "sing":
He is singing
She is singing
It is singing

1 vowel + 1 consonant
