All the highlighted actions tell us what happens on regular basis.
We observe that in the simple present tense, we use the first form of the verb. With
singular nouns like he, she or it, we add ‘s’ or ‘es’ to the first form of verb.
With plural nouns like I, we, you, they, we do not add ‘s‘ or ‘es’ to the verb.
