Generally, verbs take an -s ending, with two exceptions: 1) Verbs ending in -ss, -sh, -ch, -o, -zz, -x take -es. 2) Verbs ending in a consonant + -y drop the -y and add -ies. Examples are provided to illustrate these rules, such as runs, sees, plays for regular verbs and kisses, watches, goes for the first exception and cries, flies, applies for the second exception.
