In the third person singular we find the following orthogra­phical change:

y

i

es

come → comes
order → orders
travel → travels
eat → eats
record → records
walk → walks
move → moves

For most verbs we add -s to the base form to make the she, he, it (third person singular) form:

For other verbs, the spelling changes are:

When the verb ends in -s or -z we double the -s or -z and add -es, e.g. quiz, quizzes. These verbs are not common.

[iz] after the sibilants [s], [z], [J], [tj], [dj]: passes ['pasiz], pushes ['pujiz], teaches [ti:tjiz], judges ;

[z]after voiced non-sibilants and vowels: reads [ri:dz], lives [livz], sees [si:z];

[s] after voiceless non-sibilants: works [wa:ks], wants [wonts].

The pronunciation of the ending -s (-es) depends on the sound preceding it. It is pronounced as:

We use the present simple to talk about general facts that are always true and permanent about the world:
(Ten times ten makes one hundred. (10 x 10 = 100))

We use the present simple to talk about general facts that we think are true and permanent at the present time:
(I really love my job.)

General truths and facts

We use the present simple to talk about regular or habitual events. We often use always, often, usually, sometimes, never and other frequency adverbs for regular and habitual events:
(I read every night before I go to sleep.)

Regular and habitual events

We use the present simple when we are giving instructions or directions. We often use ordering words, such as and, first and then with this use of the present simple:
(You take the train into the city centre and then you take a number five bus. You don’t get off at the museum. You get off at the stop after the museum.)

Instructions and directions

We often use the present simple to describe a series of actions – one action after another. We see this especially in stories, summaries of stories or reviews:

Stories and commentaries

We use the present simple, often with verbs of senses and perception, to talk about feelings and reactions at the moment of speaking:
(- Do you think that meat is ok to eat? It doesn’t smell very good.
- Where does it hurt?)

Immediate reactions

We use the present simple with speech act verbs (verbs which perform the act that they describe):
(I will pay you back, I promise, when I get paid.)

I promise, I swear, I agree (speech act verbs)

We use the present simple to talk about events that are part of a future plan or timetable:
(The lesson starts at 9.30 tomorrow instead of 10.30.)

Timetables and plans

We use the present simple for future reference in subordinate clauses after words like when, before, as soon as, if and whether:

I’ll call you when I get there.
Not: I’ll call you when I’ll get there.

Present simple after when, before, etc.

We often see the present simple in news headlines to report past events. It emphasises the drama or immediacy of an event:
(Man rescues child from lake)

Newspaper headlines
