Third Person Singular

In English, verbs that end with an extra “-s” are called third person singular.

The third person refers to people or things we talk about.

"Singular" means "one"

Here are some examples.

• My dad is a doctor.
• He works at a hospital.
• My sister is a farmer.
• She has a farm.
• My city is nice.
• It has many parks.

For negative statements, the words “does not” and “doesn’t” go before the verb.

• My dad does not watch TV.
• My sister doesn’t like sports.
  

The word “does ” not the word “do” is used in questions.

• Where does your friend live?
  She lives in France.
  
• Does your friend speak French?
  Yes, she does.
  No, she does not.
