14. Third-Person Verbs

Ms. Anna is a teacher. She loves to teach English. One day, she stands in front of the class with a big smile. "Today, we will learn something important," she says. "We will learn about third-person verbs!"

The students look curious. "What are third-person verbs?" asks Tom, one of the students.

Ms. Anna writes on the board: I eat, he eats.

"When I talk about myself, I say 'I eat,'" she explains. "But when I talk about someone else, like Tom or Mary, I say 'he eats' or 'she eats.'"

The students nod. Ms. Anna writes more examples: I play, she plays. I run, he runs.

"Do you see? When we talk about 'he' or 'she,' we add 's' to the verb," Ms. Anna says. "It is very simple!"

Sally raises her hand. "So, if I say 'I jump,' what do I say for 'she'?" she asks.

"You say, 'she jumps,'" Ms. Anna answers. "Good job, Sally!"

The students start to practice. They say, "I sing, she sings. I walk, he walks. I read, she reads."

Ms. Anna smiles. "Very good!" she says. "Remember, always add 's' when you talk about 'he' or 'she.'"
