4. Common Verbs for Day-to-Day Conversation:

First, let’s understand what first person, second person, and third person mean:

1. First person: This is when you talk about yourself or a group you are part of.
   • Examples: “I”, “we”.
   • Example sentence: “I eat breakfast.”
2. Second person: This is when you talk to someone else directly.
   • Example: “You”.
   • Example sentence: “You eat breakfast.”
3. Third person: This is when you talk about other people, animals, or things.
   • Examples: “He”, “She”, “It”, “They”.
   • Example sentence: “He eats breakfast.”

When we use verbs in the present tense, they stay the same for most people, but for he, she, and it (third person), we often add an ‘s’ or ‘es’ at the end.

A list of common verbs given below that we use in our day-to-day conversations. The verbs are listed with their base form and their third-person singular form (which adds ‘s’ or ‘es’ in the present simple tense) along with example sentences to help students understand how to apply them in daily conversations.

  • Examples:
    • “I go” → “He goes”
    • “I play” → “She plays”
    • “I study” → “He studies”
