Question

2ª) Os verbos terminados por “X”, “H”, “O”, “S”farão as terceiras pessoas ( He,
She e IT), com o acréscimo do “ES”.
Ex: goes (ir ), watches( assistir ), guesses ( adivinhar ), fixes ( consertar ), etc.
3ª) Os verbos terminados por “Y”, precedidos por uma consoante, retira-se o “Y”
e acrescenta-se “IES”. Ex: cry= cries, fly= flies, try= tries, etc.
Note: Se antes do “Y” vier uma vogal, somente acrescenta o “S”, ex:
Pay= pays ( pagar ) play=plays ( jogar ) obey =obeys ( obedecer )
Enjoy= enjoys ( apreciar, gostar ) pray=prays ( orar )
Com base na explicação, observa as palavras grifadas nas frases a seguir:
a) Rio Grande realizes many projects about preservation of the environment.
b) We need to preserve the environment.
Na frase “A” o verbo levou um “S” por estar na 3ª pessoa do singular ( IT )
Na frase “B” nao acrescentou-se nada pois o verbo está na 3ª pessoa do plural.
Verbo TO NEED ( necessitar ) Simple Present
I need
You need
He needs
She needs
It needs
We need
You need
They need

regras.
