I bet you're
asking yourself,
"How do I know which
verb
form
to use?" |
| |
|
|
|
It's really
quite simple! |
|
The
basic form
is used when the
verb
tells
about
more than one
person, place, or thing.
|
|
Example |
|
The
horses
run
in the race. |
|
|
|
 |
The
basic form
plus
s
is used
when a
verb
tells
about
one
person, place, or thing. |
|
Example |
|
The
horse
runs
in the race. |

Hold onto
your hat!!!
Here's another way the spelling
of the
basic form
of a
present tense verb
can change!
|
| |
|
|
When the basic form ends with a
consonant
plus y, change the
y to an
i, then
add es. |
|
Example |
|
|
|
The
children
study
for the test. |

studies
for the test. |
