Definition
In the present tense if the subject of the verb is of the third person singular (he, she, it), -s, -es or -ies are added. If the subject is someone else's (I, you, we, they), these endings are not added.
With few exceptions (like the verb be) English verbs have only four or five forms of conjugation and two of those are from the present simple tense. This lesson is about those two.
