1, generally +s, for example, let-lets；; Get-get
2. those ending in s, x, ch, sh, o +es, for example: pass-passs；; Repair-repair; Watch-watch; Teach-teach-wash; go-goes； Do-do
3. End with consonant +y and change y to i +es, for example, study-studies.

Usage of three simple forms:
Find out what the first, second and third person are. The first person is "I" and "we". The second person is called "you" and "you". The singular of the third person is "he", "she" and "it", and the plural is "they", "they" and "them".
1. Most notional verbs are pronounced as /s/ after adding "s" at the end of the word. The pronunciation is /z/ after voiced consonants and vowels. Such as speak→speaks/s/； s/; come→comes/z/； play→plays / z /.
2. Verbs ending in consonants and "y" should be changed from "y" to "i", and then "es" should be pronounced as /iz/. Such as study→studies/iz/； iz/; Flies → flies/iz/.
3. Verbs ending in "s, x, ch, sh" are pronounced as /iz/ such as teach→teaches/iz/； iz/; Watch → watch/iz/.
4. For verbs ending in "o", add "es" at the end. Two verbs ending in "o" often appear, go and do, followed by "es" and read /z/. Such as go → goes/z/; do→does / z /.
5, remember the most special be three orders, have three orders.
[Note] A. When the following two verbs become three words, the pronunciation of the vowel part of the original word has changed a lot, so remember. Such as do/ du:/→does/ d? z/； say/sei/→say/SEZ/.
B, open syllable words ending with the silent letter "e", if the ending is [s][z], the letter "e" and the added "s" are pronounced as [iz]. Such as: close → close [iz]].
In Chinese, although the three "he" in the third person singular are written differently, their pronunciations are the same. But in English, the three "he" are pronounced differently and written differently, namely, he, she and it. You can't use the prototype of the verb after the third person, but add S or es after the corresponding verb.
Simply put, one person is singular and many people are plural. In Chinese, the third person plural is often called "they" or "them", but in English it is them.
"The third person singular" refers to "he" or "she", which corresponds to him or her in English.
Example of sentence: third person singular: he is a student. (He is a student)
Third person plural: They are students. (They are students)
The above is just a simple answer to help you understand. The third person also includes some other aspects, such as "it", so I won't say much here. I hope you can learn more from it.
In the simple present tense, when the subject is the third person singular, the predicate verb should be in the third person singular form, that is, the verb prototype is often followed by -s or -es.
