To consider an instance, "Thou knowest that he runneth," which means "You perceive that he runs."

Explanation:

  • Although there are many exceptions to the rules, 18th-century English commonly used to use a "-th" ending for verbs which were used with third-person singular subjects, and "-est" endings for "thou" and "thee."
  • To consider an instance, "Thou knowest that he runneth," which means "You perceive that he runs."
