## The Golden Rule: He, She, It

- **He / She / It** requires adding **-s**, **-es**, or **-ies** to the verb.

## Spelling Rules

- **-es rule:** For verbs ending in ss, sh, ch, x, o, or z (e.g., Fix -> Fixes, Go -> Goes).
- **The 'Y' Rule:** 
  - Consonant + y -> Drop y, add **-ies** (e.g., Cry -> Cries).
  - Vowel + y -> Just add **-s** (e.g., Play -> Plays).

## Sentence Structure
- **Negative Sentences:** Use **Don’t** (I, You, We, They) and **Doesn’t** (He, She, It). Note: Remove 's' from the verb after doesn't.
- **Questions:** Use **Do / Does** + Subject + Verb. Example: "Does he play football?"
