Present simple: he / she + -s

Explanation

For daily habits, English uses the present simple. With I / you / we / they you use the base verb: I get up, they work, we study. BUT with he / she / it you MUST add -s: he gets up, she works, it sleeps. Forgetting this -s is the most common mistake for many learners. For negatives and questions, use do (I/you/we/they) or does (he/she/it), and the main verb goes back to the base: I don't sleep in the afternoon, Does she work on Monday? (not "Does she works"). Note irregular: go → goes.

Examples

  • I get up at seven, and she gets up at eight.I get up at seven, and she gets up at eight.
  • He always eats breakfast in the morning.He always eats breakfast in the morning.
  • I work in the morning and study in the evening.I work in the morning and study in the evening.
  • Does she work on Monday? — No, she doesn't.Does she work on Monday? — No, she doesn't.
