  2. Present-Tense • The tense of a verb tells when the action takes place. • Present tense verbs work with singular and plural nouns. • If the subject is a singular noun (one person, place, or thing), the present-tense verb ends with –s or –es. • The dog jumps over the fence. • If the subject is a plural noun (more than one person, place, or thing), the present-tense verb does not end with –s or –es. • The dogs jump over the fence.

  3. Agreement • A present-tense verb must agree with its subject (singular or plural). • Add –s to most verbs if the subject is a singular noun. • Add –es to verbs that end with s, ch, sh, x, or z. Do you rememberwhen we made singular verbs plural????? • Do not add –s or –es if the subject is plural. • Some examples: • bring – brings • scratch – scratches • live – lives • throw – throws • wash - washes
