- It adds -ies when the verb ends in consonant + y: CRY --> He cries; STUDY --> She studies
- It adds -es when the verb ends in one of the following letters: -s.- z, -sh, -ch, -x, -o: GO --> He goes, WATCH --> She watches
- In the rest of the verbs the third person is formed by adding -s: GIVE--> She gives, PLAY --> He plays
