8. Things to consider…
We now know that in the positive in the third person (he/she/it), we add -s, -es, or -ies in the
present simple.
…but when do we add -s,
-es or -ies? It depends on the
spelling of the verb. Look…
Add -s to the verb (most common).
e.g. She drives a car. He works in a bank.
drive + -s = drives work + -s = works
Add -es with verbs ending in -o, -ss, -ch, -sh, -x.
e.g. She does exercise. He catches the bus.
do + -es = does catch + -es = catches
Change -y to -ies when the verb ends in a consonant + -y.
e.g. The baby cries a lot. She flies a lot for work.
cry – -y = cr + -ies = cries fly – -y = fl + -ies = flies
consonant -y
consonant -y
Action and state verbs…

9. Action and state verbs
Look at what the boy
says.
This sentence talks about a
temporary action, one that
is changing, but notice that
it is in the present simple,
not continuous. This is
because have in this context
is a state, not an action
verb.
We do not use state verbs in continuous structures. They are always in
simple tenses.
1.
We can also use time expressions to describe actions happening now
or around now with state verbs in the present simple.
2.
Some verbs can be state verbs or action verbs depending on the
context, e.g.
3.
I was thinking about Laura when she walked in.
Think here is an action verb. You can imagine the speaker’s brain
working.
I think he’s German.
Think is a state verb here meaning the same as believe.
Let’s practise!
At the moment, I have a bad back, so I can’t go.
