• In general, in the third person we add 'S' in the third person singular.
• Not used of am / is / are in Simple present tense.

Formula:   

Positive: (1) Sub + V1

                (2) He / she / it / name / V1 + s / es (go-goes)

Negative: Sub + Do / Does (he, she, it) + not + V1

Interrogative: Do / Does + sub + V1 + obj?

Nag. Int.: Do / Does + not + sub + V1 + obj? 

Example:

1. I like Grilled Sandwich.
2. He plays chess daily.

Note:

• If 3rd person singular (He, she, it) comes as a subject – (e) s is added to the simple form of the verb.
• When a verb ends with “ y “ and there is a consonant before it, the “ y “ changes into “  i “ then the letter “ es “ is added.

Example:
 cry – cries, dry – dries

• When a verb ends with “y “, and there is a vowel before it, we simply add the letter “s “ to the verb.

Example:
enjoy – enjoys, obey – obeys
