To form the third person singular (he/she/it) in the Present Simple, we generally add -s to the base form of the verb. However, there are specific spelling rules for verbs ending in -ch, -y, or -o. Conjugation Table: I vs. He
| I (First Person) | He (Third Person) | Spelling Rule Applied |
|---|---|---|
| I buy | He buys | Just add -s (vowel + y) |
| I teach | He teaches | Add -es (ends in -ch) |
| I cry | He cries | Change -y to -i and add -es (consonant + y) |
| I go | He goes | Add -es (ends in -o) |
| I sit | He sits | Just add -s |
| I read | He reads | Just add -s |
| I write | He writes | Just add -s |
| I live | He lives | Just add -s |
Summary of Rules
- General Rule: Add -s to most verbs (reads, sits, lives).
- Ending in -ch, -sh, -s, -x, -z: Add -es (teaches).
- Ending in -o: Add -es (goes).
- Consonant + Y: Change y to i and add -es (cries).
- Vowel + Y: Just add -s (buys).
Would you like me to create a set of practice sentences using these specific verb forms to help you see them in context?
