MEET (2)

An easy way to identify the verb and the subject: the subject is always before the verb
and the verb is always after the subject. Commonly the subject it is represented by a
pronoun (I, you, he, she, we, they, and it) in a sentence, and sometimes by a proper noun
(Michael, Sarah, white house, etc.)
Now, why in some sentence of simple present the verb is followed by an “s”?
This happens because of the verb agreement with the third person (He, She, and It.)
Example:
My country suffers poverty.
The verb suffer is followed by an “s” because country it is a third person subject.
Finally, when we deal with auxiliary verbs (a.k.a. helping verbs) and with modal verbs;
only the auxiliary verbs are modified for plural and the third person while the modal
verbs do not modify the verb and it stands in an infinite form.
Auxiliary verbs:
Be: am for singular (first person), is for
singular (third person), and are for
plural (second person).
Do: do for first and second person,
and does for third person.
Have: have for first and second
person, and has for third
person.
