Don't memorize: learn by playing. Each rule is explained briefly first, then comes a small game. Get it right on the first try and you earn a star ★. Each game has 5 questions, and "Play again" brings new ones.
Usually -s or -es; but words like man, child, foot, tooth and sheep have their own forms to remember.
Game 3
Article: a or an?
A and an go before one thing that is not specific. Which one to use depends on the first sound of the next word, not its first letter.
Starts with a vowel sound: an: an apple, an egg, an umbrella.
The first letter is h, but it is silent: an hour, an honest boy.
Starts with u or eu, but sounds like "you": a university, a uniform, a European.
One sounds like "won": a one-taka coin. And M sounds like "em": an MP.
The goes before something specific or the only one of its kind: the sun, the moon, and before the names of rivers and seas: the Padma, the Bay of Bengal.
Play: say the word out loud, then choose a or an.
In one line
Judge by ear: if the first sound is a vowel sound, use an; if not, use a.
Game 4
Subject and verb: go or goes?
In the present simple, when the subject is one third person, such as he, she, it, Rina or my mother, the verb ends in -s or -es. With I, you, we, they and more than one subject, the verb stays as it is.
Subject
Verb
Example
I, you, we, they
play, go, have, are
They play football.
he, she, it, Rina
plays, goes, has, is
Rina plays football.
A trick to remember: the s goes in only one place. If the subject is singular (the boy), the verb gets the s (runs); if the subject is plural (the boys), the verb has no s (run).
Play: fill the gap with the right verb.
In one line
He, she, it or one person's name: the verb takes -s. I, you, we, they: it doesn't.
Game 5
Tense: when is it happening?
The time words in a sentence give the clue. Yesterday, last year, ago: past. Every day, always: a habit (present simple). Now, Look!, Listen!: happening right now (present continuous). Tomorrow, next week: future.
Play: find the time clue, then choose the right verb.
In one line
Find the time word first, then choose the form of the verb.
