Ms. Kim: Good morning, Jaeyi! Today, we’re going to learn something very important in English. Do you know what happens to verbs when we talk about "he," "she," or "it"?

Jaeyi: Hmm... No, I’m not sure.

Ms. Kim: Let me show you! Look at these sentences:

• I eat pizza.
• You eat pizza.
• He ___ pizza.

What should we put in the blank?

Jaeyi: "Eat"?

Ms. Kim: Almost! But when the subject is "he," "she," or "it," we add an "-s" to the verb. So, it becomes:

• He eats pizza.

Jaeyi: Oh! So for "she" and "it," we also add "-s"?

Ms. Kim: Exactly! Let’s try another one.

• I play soccer.
• She ___ soccer.

What’s the correct word?

Jaeyi: "Plays"!

Ms. Kim: Great job! Now, what if the verb ends with "-ch," "-sh," "-s," or "-x"? Like "watch" or "fix"? We add "-es" instead of just "-s."
For example:

• She watches TV.
• He fixes the car.

Jaeyi: So, "watch" becomes "watches," and "fix" becomes "fixes"?

Ms. Kim: Yes! And one more thing—if a verb ends with a consonant + "y," like "study," we change the "y" to "i" and add "-es."

• She studies hard.

Jaeyi: Got it! So:

• He studies. (Not "studys")
• She goes. (Not "gos")

Ms. Kim: Perfect! You’re learning fast, Jaeyi! Now, let’s practice with more sentences.

Jaeyi: Okay!

(They continue practicing with different verbs like "run," "wash," "do," and "try.")

Ms. Kim: Excellent work today! Remember, for "he," "she," or "it," don’t forget the "-s" or "-es"!

Jaeyi: Thank you, Ms. Kim! I’ll practice more at home!
