2.1. 1.A verbs in the present simple in the affirmative form have an -s added at the end. In the negative and interrogative forms they do not have -s. 1.1. With verbs whose ending is –o, -sh, -ch, -ss, -x, -z, add –es. 1.2 Verbs ending in –y have this last letter changed to –i + -es. 1.3 Verbs ending in –y have another exception. If there is a vowel before this last letter, the –y is kept and –s is added at the end.
2.2. 2.The third person auxiliary is does. First and second persons of the singular and plural using do.
2.3. 3.The verb to be is irregular, so being one of the most used it is advisable to learn all its forms
2.4. 4. Modal verbs (can, must, may) have two exceptions: 4.1 Neither -s nor -es are added. 4.2 Negative and interrogative forms do not use auxiliary do / does, but itself.
