Exception
The verbs can, may, might, must remain the same in all
forms. So don't add s.
Verbs ending in o or a sibilant (ch, sh, s, x) add es instead of
s.
A final y after a consonant becomes ie before s. (but: don't
modify y after a vowel)
Example
he can, she may, it must
do - he does, wash - she washes
worry - he worries (but: play he plays)
