Question About Jeffrey Epstein's Note
Introduction
A judge showed a secret note from Jeffrey Epstein. Some people think the note is real. Other people think it is fake.
Main Body
A police officer found the note in a book in July 2019. In the note, Epstein says goodbye. The government says they did not know about this note before. Mark Epstein is Jeffrey's brother. He says the note is a lie. He thinks someone else wrote it. But the judge says the note is old. In July 2019, Epstein tried to kill himself. The government says this is true. Mark Epstein does not agree. He says someone killed his brother.
Conclusion
The court does not know if the note is real. More papers may help find the truth.

⚡️ The 'S' Rule for People
Look at how the text talks about one person. When we talk about one person (He/She), the action word usually gets an -s.
Examples from the text:
- Epstein says... (Not: Epstein say)
- He thinks... (Not: He think)
- The judge says...
Wait! What happens when it is negative? When we say 'no', we use does not and the -s disappears!
- He says → He does not agree (The 's' is gone!)
- The government says → They did not know (Past time change)
Quick Guide: One Person → Action + s → (e.g., He likes) One Person + No → does not + Action → (e.g., He does not like)
