Explanation:
The Verb ‘be’ and its forms are exceptions to this rule :
He is a friend.
I am your friend.
They Eire friends.
(ii) Can, must, may and ought to and the auxiliaries will and shall do not have ‘s’ or ‘es’ with either singular or plural.
He can/must/may/ought to/ will/ shall do it.
They can/must/may/ought to/will/shall do it.
When ‘will is a full verb meaning desire, it follows the rule for most other verbs and takes ‘-s’ when the subject is third person singular. .
Whatever God wills, man cannot alter.
Verbs that end with ‘y’ and have a consonant before this ‘y’, the ‘y’ changes into ‘f and ‘-es’ is added if the subject is third person singular.
Ram relies on me.
He tries his best.
He flies a kite.
