4. Verbs
A verb is an action word that shows something that we do. The subject (who, what) of the sentence tells me if the verb in the sentence needs an s/es. A singular subject like He, She, It, A dog, Mike are subjects that need a s/es on the verb. Plural subjects and I, We, They, My friends, Mike and Sam are subjects that do NOT need a s/es on the verb.
For example:
My friends and I play games together. (Subject is plural, no s/es added to the verb, play)
Mike rides the bike to school. (subject is singular, s is added to the verb, ride, it becomes rides)
