Irregular Verbs
Irregular verbs in English in the present tense follow very simple rules. The only change that is made to
these verbs is in the third person – for He, She or It.
1. If the verb ends in SS, X, CH, SH or the letter O, we add + ES in the third person.

•A mechanic fixes cars.


•She watches soap operas every afternoon.
•He kisses his wife before he goes to work

Present tense – third person
Negative Sentence:
To form the negative we use the auxiliary do not. Again, the only variation occurs in the 3rd person
where we use does not.
. In the negative, the main verb is always in the bare infinitive
(without TO). It doesn't change for the third person. We don't
put an S on the end of the verb in the negative form. In the
examples above - talk, sleep and study do not change in the
3rd person.

•He speaks Italian


He doesn't speak Italian.

Remember: Do not can be abbreviated to Don't and Does


not can be abbreviated to Doesn't.
