Learning

⚡ The Power of 'S'

In this text, we see a pattern with people doing things. When we talk about one person, we add an -s to the action word.

Look at these examples:

  • Trump says... (He says)
  • The Pope wants... (He wants)
  • He hates... (He hates)

The Logic: One person → Action + S

Compare it:

  • Some people say... (Many people → No 's')
  • They disagree... (Many people → No 's')

Quick Tip: If you can replace the person with He or She, put an -s on the verb.

Example: Trump sells a Bible → He sells a Bible. ✅
