The fun of adding 'S' at the end of verbs (Revised with Audio)

We all know verbs can be tricky especially with people or nouns and pronouns he/she/it.

Noun + simple present verb 's'

That 's' can be very thin when listening to native speakers. But to get it just right we should do some exaggeration exercises.

Sleepssssss
Tastessssss
Playsssssss
Eatssssssss
Runsssssss

Pronunciation Tip: Say each as if you were a snake, sssssss!

A simple present sentence would look like this,
It eats fruit.

But works well when we add a prepositional phrase:

in the dark
good in summer.
at school
on the grass

Now practice them in a sentence:

Jane sleeps in the dark.
A watermelon tastes good in summer.
He plays soccer at school.
She runs on the grass.

As an exercise try making sentences with these indoor activities

use the computer
study
write an email
practice the piano
take a nap
do a puzzle
play video games
cook lunch

Don't forget to include the prepositional phrase and to be creative!

Ex. He takes a nap in the tree.
