The Present Simple tense in English has a specific spelling rule for the third person singular (he, she, it). Here’s the rule:
**Spelling Rule:**
Verbs in the Present Simple tense typically add "-s" or "-es" to the base form of the verb when used with he, she, or it.
- Verbs ending in **-s, -ss, -sh, -ch, -x, -z, -o** add **-es** (e.g., pass → passes, fix → fixes).
- Verbs ending in a consonant + **-y** change **-y** to **-ies** (e.g., study → studies).
- For most other verbs, just add **-s** (e.g., work → works, play → plays).
**Examples:**
- I work → He works.
- She plays soccer every weekend.
- He watches TV after dinner.
- The cat sleeps all day.
- He goes to school early.
**Exercises:**
1. **Complete the sentences with the correct form of the verb:**
a. She usually __________ (wake) up at 7 AM.
b. He __________ (drink) coffee every morning.
c. The bus __________ (arrive) at 8:15 AM.
d. It always __________ (rain) a lot in April.
e. John __________ (go) to the gym twice a week.
2. **Write sentences in the Present Simple using the given verbs:**
a. read
b. cook
c. study
d. drive
e. speak
Example: He reads books every evening.
3. **Correct the mistakes in these sentences:**
a. She play soccer on Saturdays.
b. He usually go to bed late.
c. It snows a lot in December in Canada.
d. The dogs barks loudly at night.
e. He drink coffee in the morning.
These exercises should help reinforce the usage and spelling of verbs in the Present Simple tense, particularly focusing on the third person singular forms.
