4. NOTES; For the subject personal pronoun; I, You, He, They: DO and He/she/It: DOES. When the subjects are: I, You, We and They, we don’t need to add ‘S/ES’ to the end of the verbs. However to form the verb infinitive (V 1) + S/ Es ) for the third singular personal pronouns (He, She, It), here are the ways :

5. Generally, the verbs in present tense we add with ‘S’ Work – works read –reads Begin – begins Makes – makes sing – sings write – writes Become – becomes Look –looks shine – shines help – helps Walk –walks Keep – keeps speak – speaks eat – eats Sleep – sleeps Mean – means set –sets Sit – sits Visit – visits Meet – meets

6. The verbs which ending with the letter “ch, o, s, sh, x, z” add with “-es” pass – passes go – goes Watch – watches Match – matches teach – teaches finish – finishes Touch – Touches Miss – misses reach – reaches wish –wishes Relax – relaxes Catch – catches fix – fixes discuss – discusses Wash – washes Fish – fishes do – does kiss – kisses Puss – pusses Express – expresses

7. The verbs which ending with the letter “-y” and begin with a consonant, we change “-y” to “-i” and then add with “-es”. study –studies worry – worries Dry – dries Fry – fries carry – carries Vary – varies reply – replies   fly – flies Identify – identifies cry – cries  

8. The verbs which ending with the letter “-y” and begin with a vowel, we just add with ‘S’ to the end of the verbs. lay – lays Enjoy – enjoys play – plays Destroy – destroys buy – buys Slay – slays say –says Pay – pays

9. If the verbs in simple present begin with the modal verbs, we don’t need to add with ‘S/ES’. can open must work Must go must close can read

10. The Present Simple is often used with the frequency adverbs : Always Nowadays From time to time Frequently/often Never Every now and then Usually Every week/year Regularly Seldom/rarely Sometimes/occasionally Often

14. NOTE; The way to use auxiliary verb (AM/IS/ARE): Subject; I = Am You/we/they = Are He/She/It = Is

15.   The way to form the verb in present participle or V1+ing 1. If the word ends in –e, drop the –e and add – ing . Ex ; hope = hoping, date = dating, injure = injuring, etc   2. Verbs that end in a vowel and a consonant, add the ending letter (double), and add – ing . One syllable: Ex; stop = stopping, beg = begging, rob = robbing, etc. (1 vowel = 2 consonants) Ex ; rain = raining, fool = fooling, dream = dreaming, etc. (2 vowel = 1 consonants) Two syllable: Ex; listen = listening, open = opening, etc. (1 st syllable stressed) Ex; begin = beginning, control = controlling, etc (2 nd syllable stressed)

16. 3. Verbs that end in two consonants, just add the – ing to the ending Ex; start = starting, fold = folding, demand = demanding, etc   4. Verbs that end –y, if –y preceded by a vowel/consonant, keep the –y Ex; enjoy = enjoying, buy = buying, pray = praying, studying, trying, replying, etc   5.
