remember the spelling rules to work with the 3rd person

singular.The general rule is to add „s‟ ,but if the verbs end in

‘ch,sh,ss,x, or o‟ add „es’.If the verbs end in consonant+y,

change by „i‟ and add „es‟ (ies).

To make comparisons identify the adjective and apply the

rules.

Be careful with the irregular nouns when changing into plural.
