You use the present simple tense to express routines or general truths.

Form

3rd person singular (personal pronouns he, she it or singular form of nouns).

For most verbs you simply add “s” at the end of the verb. For example, play - plays; love - loves.

However, there are some exceptions to the rule.

First, for verbs ending in “s, z, ch, sh, x, o” you add “es”. For example, do - does.

Second, in verbs ending in consonant plus “y”, “y” becomes “i”, then you add “es”. For example, carry - carries.
