Third-Person, Singular, Simple PresentWhat is it?Under very special circumstance, verbs in
English take an extra "-s" suffix: Verbs take the "-s" suffix when the Subject...
...is Third Person, ...is Singular, and ...is acting in the Simple Present.
Third Singular PersonFor example:
He walks to the park daily.
The Subject (Subject
Pronoun "He") is Third
Person, Singular, and
acting in the Simple
Present.
Concepts: Third Person (Person)There are THREE possible parties to a
conversation: The person speaking: FirstPerson
The person being spoken to: SecondPerson
Some other personnot in the conversation: ThirdPerson
Concepts: Simple Present (Tense/Aspect)The Simple Present is not really about the
present, and it's actually not all that simple! Much of the time, it's used to talk about a fact. For example, consider the two sentences in the previous section: He has a dog.
They have a dog.
Normally, you simply add an "-s" to the end of a verb to create the

Pronunciation of Third Person SingularNote: The letters between the slash marks / / refer to sounds,
not to spelling.
1. The -(e)s of the simple present tense is pronounced as /z/
after a voiced sound, except /z/, /zh/, and /j/. The voiced sounds
are sounds that are produced by vibration of the vocal chords.
The voiced sounds in English are: a. All vowels
b. /b/, /g/, j sound (as in judge), /l/, /m/, /n/, /r/, voiced th (as
in bathe), /v/, ng (as in bang), zh sound (as in measure), z
sound (as in buzz)
Examples: plays, sees, goes, robs, hangs, calls, rams, learns,
blurs, clothes, receives
Pronunciation of Third Person Singular
2. The -(e)s of the simple present tense is pronounced as /s/
after a voiceless sound, except /s/, /sh/, and /ch/. The voiceless
sounds are sounds that are produced with no vibration of the
vocal chords. The voiceless sounds in English are: a. /f/, /k/,
/p/, /s/, voiceless th (as in with), ch (as in watch), sh (as in wash).
Examples: laughs, talks, stops
Pronunciation of Third Person Singular3. When a word ends in /s/, /sh/, /ch/, /z/, /j/ the -es is pronounced as a
separate syllable: /ɪz/. Therefore, if a verb ends in one of these sounds,
the present tense will have one more syllable than the simple form.
Examples: fix (1 syllable)-->fixes (2 syllables)
kiss (1 syllable)-->kisses (2 syllables)
wash (1 syllable)-->washes (2 syllables)
watch (1 syllable)-->watches (2 syllables)
damage (2 syllables)-->damages (3 syllables)
memorize (3 syllables)-->memorizes (4 syllables)
exercise (3 syllables)-->exercises (4 syllables)
As Conclusion…
It has been a pleasure for me to explain you
a little more about the Third Singular Person, its
rules, pronunciations and grammar. I hope that
you can improve your English skills.
