[Eu tenho duas irms.] [Jane tem duas irms.] They have a green shirt. Donald has a blue shirt. [Eles tm uma camisa verde.] [Donald tem uma camisa azul.]

Nem todos os verbos recebem apenas a letra s no final. Os verbos terminados em -ss, -o, -sh, -ch ou -x normalmente recebem es para a terceira pessoa do singular (he, she, it):
