1. To form the Present Simple we add s to the infinitive of the verb in the 3rd person singular (he, she, it) E.g.: I live He / She / It lives

2. But when the verb ends in a. b. c. o, -ss, -sh, -ch, -x we add es E.g.: I go He / She / It goes E.g.: I play He / She / It plays a consonant followed by y, the y changes into ie and we add -s E.g.: I study He / She / It studies a vowel followed by y we just add -s
