Third person singular “s” form

The s in the third person singular form

In the present tense, regular verbs are conjugated by adding an s in the third
person singular: He, She, It
I want We want
You want You want
He/She/It wants They want
I always wear blue jeans, and my sister always wears skirts.

Verbs ending in 'ss' 'ch' 'sh' or 'x' add 'es' to the end of the verb:

Luna washes her hair with a special herbal shampoo. (to wash)
He flies a plane. (to fly)
Susie relaxes every day after lunch. (to relax)

For verbs ending in a consonant followed by 'y', we remove the 'y' and add 'ies' to
the end of the verb. This does not apply to verbs ending in a vowel followed by 'y',
which are conjugated normally.
My brother studies history. (to study > studies)
I hope my son marries someone rich. (to marry > marries)
I don't care what she says, I'm eating this cake. (to say > says)

Note:

• The auxiliary verbs be, have and do, plus the verb go, are irregular and are
conjugated as follows:

I am / am not He is / isn't
I have / haven't She has / hasn't
I do / don't He does / doesn't
I go She goes
