For singular subjects like "he" and "she", verbs typically take an "s" ending, while for other subjects like "I", "you", "we" and "they" they do not. There are also examples showing how auxiliary verbs like "do" and "be" are used in questions and negative sentences. Multiple choice questions with answers are provided at the end to test understanding of these tense patterns.
