Our human body has a skeleton or you can a bone structure inside. That holds our body together and helps us to move,walk or walk. Language has the same bone structure.

If you dont follow some rules and regulations you may not be able to express your words more fluently and most importantly the person you are talking to may not understand you.

Another thing I must say that, yes you cant bind a language with rules. Language should be free.But this rules are not for binding language.

These rules are necessary to express the right thing. You may not interested following rules in the informal English but to be precise in the formal English it is mandatory to follow certain rules.

So I'm here to solve this kind of problems and to make your writing more perfect and more understanding to people. Before going to the discussion I also need to say I'm also a human just like you.

If I do any mistakes please pardon my mistakes. Let's keep our hands together and learn new grammar lessons everyday.

Let's start our today's lesson. Today we will learn some basic writing hacks. When we are writing,we often forget basic English grammar. Here I will talk about basics of right form of verbs.

Here goes the hack number one:

If you are writing your sentence in the present indefinite form and your subject is singular number and third person than all you need to add s/es with the verb.

So let's clarify what is singular number? Singular number refers when there is only singular or single subject.

If we take "He" and "They" as number, then "He" means one or single entity. On the other hand "They" means a bunch of people or plural entity. I think it is clear.

Let me tell you this again, if your subject expresses a single entity than rule is applicable.

Now lets go to person. Third person means everything without "I,We" and "You" such as "He,She,They etc"
I think you are very familiar with this topic named person.

Lets read it again If your subject is singular number or single entity, your subject is third person and your expressing tense is present indefinite or simple present tense than.

Lets see some examples:
He sings in the morning.
She plays with Rick.
Mana loves to draw.

And the last and the least thing, if your subject is not in singular form that means if your subject is in plural form you don't need to add "s/es" with the verb. Whether your person is in third form,you don't have to.

The one most basic thing we often tend to forget is use of "Does".
We use "Does" with third person subject. Here is an example with "Does".

Mana does play Tennis.

Now look in our first rule I've said if the subject is third person and singular number than you need to add "s/es" with the verb. But as you can I didn't write Mana does plays tennis. Here is the explanation of this. If you use does than you dont need to add "s/es". But if you don't use "does" than add the extra words.

If you write a negative sentence than you don't need to add the extra "s/es" after using does. Lets see an example of this thing too.

"Mana does not play Tennis."

Let's learn another thing today. If your sentence is in past or future form than you don't need to add extra "s/es" or does. This thing is only applicable when your sentence is in present form.

The last thing if your sentence is in past form and if you use "did" than you don't need to change the verb form. The verb form will remain in the present form. Now lets look at the example too.

Mana did play Tennis.

The same thing is applicable if your sentence is in negative form.

Mana didn't play Tennis.

That's all today. I'll come again with this kind of more hacks later. Till than stay well and learn new things in every moment.
