💡 The 'S' Rule for Actions

When we talk about one person or one thing, the action word usually gets an -s at the end. Look at these examples from the text:

  • The BBC wants → (One channel)
  • ITV spends → (One channel)
  • The World Cup cares → (One event)
  • FIFA runs → (One organization)

Compare it to 'Many' (More than one):

  • People watch (No -s!)
  • Players play (No -s!)

Quick Tip: One thing → add -s Many things → no -s
