Answer 1

Resposta:

a) misses  b) fixes  c) cleans  d) catches  e) brushes  f) flies  g) finishes  h) buys  i) tidies    j)  cries  k)  worries   l) enjoys

Explicação:

Na 3a pessoa do singular (he,she,it), os verbos terminados em SS/X/SH/CH  recebem 'es' no presente simples. Exemplo: she miss = she misses; he fix = he fixes; he catch = he catches; he/she brush = brushes; it finish = it finishes.

Na 3a pessoa do singular (he,she,it), os verbos terminados em Y, recebem 's' normalmente se antes do Y houver uma vogal. Exemplo: Buy = buys; enjoy = enjoys. No entanto, se antes do Y houver uma consoante, o verbo mudará o 'y' para 'i' e receberá 'es'. Exemplo: fly = flies; tidy = tidies; cry = cries; worry = worries.

* exceções: have = has (não existe haves)

* os verbos terminados em 'o' também recebem 'es'. Exemplo: go = goes; do = does.

Não confundir esses verbos com o verb to be (he is, she is, it is)
