Singular Subject (He / She / It / Name)

Structure: Subject + Verb (1st form + s/es) + Object

When the subject is he, she, it or a singular name (like Ramesh), the verb adds -s or -es.

• He plays football every day.
• She writes a letter.
• It rains in July.
• Ramesh goes to school.
• The cat drinks milk.

Plural Subject (I / We / You / They)

Structure: Subject + Verb (1st form) + Object

When the subject is I, we, you, they, the verb stays in its base form — no -s.

• I play football every day.
• We go to school.
• You speak English well.
• They watch TV in the evening.

When to add "s" vs "es"

• If the verb ends in -ch, -sh, -s, -x, -o add -es: he watches, she washes, he goes.
• If the verb ends in consonant + y, change y to i and add -es: he carries.
• For most verbs, just add -s: he runs, she reads.
