Verb Tense

Here are some rules for adding -s to a verb: 


	1. DROP THE Y AND ADD -IES
	    Use on words which end with Y like: carry/carries, hurry/hurries
	    But not on words like: play/plays, annoy/annoys

	2. ADD -ES
	    Use on words which end with ss, ch, x, or sh: reach/reaches, fix/fixes
	    NOTE: You must add -es to go.

	3. JUST ADD -S
	    Use on most words like: jump/jumps, drink/drinks
