In both regular and irregular verbs, it is important to remember

that the simple present tense changes in the third person

singular. This means that he, she and it forms of the verb are

different. With regular verbs, the most common way that the third

person singular changes is by adding –s. Let’s look at an

example using the regular verb sing:

Person Verb

First person singular I sing

Second person singular You sing

Third person singular He / she / it sings

First person plural We sing

Second person plural You sing

Third person plural They sing

Notice how the only one that is different is the third person
singular. This pattern is the same for many regular verbs.

Here are more examples of third person singular:
