the infinitive. Only in the third person singular : (He, She, It ) is there a slight change made.

Add S as general rule . Eg.

He
She dance + s = dances
It

Verbs ending in s, sh, ch, o, x, or z add ES. Eg.

He
She go + es = goes
It

Verbs ending in y , preceded by a consonant, change the y to I and add ES . Eg.

He
She study + i + es = studies
It
