Jose Celestino Ayala Chico

Explanation 1st and 2nd person

Affirmative way

IYou wake up at 5 amWe (verb) (complement)They

As you see the verb is not modified, the strusture must go in this order:1. Pronoun or noun2. Verb 3. Complement

Third person

There some rules to modify the verb in third person

1. Normally in the present tense we add S to the end of the verb in third person he-she-it.

Eg: she drinks some water

Verb 3rd PersonSpeak SpeaksPlay PlaysGive GivesMake Makes

Irregular verbs

Irregular verbs in English in the present tense follow very simple rules, the only change that is made to these verbs is in the third person - for he-she-it.

First ruleIf the verb ends in SS, X, CH, SH or the letter O, we add + ES in the third person.

She watches soap operas every afternoon. He kisses his wife before he goes to work

Verb 3rd PersonKiss KissesFix FixesWatch WatchesCrash CrashesGo Goes

Second rule  If the verb ends in a Consonant + Y,

we remove the Y and + IES in the third person.

Eg: Isabel studies every night. The baby cries all the time.Verb 3rd Person

Carry CarriesHurry HurriesStudy StudiesDeny Denies

Third rule However if the verb finishes in Y but there`s a

vowel before Y, you only add S.

Eg: She buys many things for birthday He pays the bill
