  If nouns show number by adding -s to the plural, what do verbs do to show whether a verb is singular or plural? A long time ago, English verbs had many different endings for this purpose, but most of those endings have been dropped. Today most English verbs look the same whether the subject is singular or plural: “I talk,” “we talk,” “the men talk,” “I remembered,” “they remembered,” “the class remembered,” and so on. However, there is one place where English verbs have kept a special ending to show number. That special ending is also an -s, and the place where it is added is in the present-tense singular with the subject pronouns he, she, it and with any singular noun that could replace any of these pronouns

  • En el pasado, los verbos tenían las mismas terminaciones
  • Los verbos en inglés no distinguen singular del plural
  • Se agrega “s” al verbo, si el pronombre no es he, she o it
  • Los sustantivos denotan número al agregar -s al plural

  Dear sister,

  This weekend I'm going to look for a new apartment to rent. I'm optimistic that I can find a cheap one. I don’t have to find it soon. However, I would like to find it before the end of summer. I would also like to find an apartment that has a parking garage. I also need an apartment that accepts pets. I don't want to give away my cat. Many landlords don't mind if their tenants have small pets.
