Add -s to most verbs (works, plays). Add -es after -ch/-sh/-ss/-x/-o (watches, goes). If verb ends in consonant + y, change to -ies (studies, tries).
I/you/we/they → don't. He/she/it → doesn't + base verb (no -s!). The most common mistake: "She doesn't likes" → "She doesn't like".
Know, like, love, hate, want, need, believe — these don't take -ing in the present. "I am knowing" is wrong; "I know" is correct.
"A student wrote "She don't like pizza." After learning the doesn't rule (he/she/it → doesn't + base verb), they never make that mistake again."
