We usually add the letter "s" to the base form of the verb in present simple affirmative sentences for the third person singular. However, there are some exceptions.
For example, if the base form of the verb ends in "-sh", "-ch", "-ss", letter "x", letter "z" and vowel "o", we add "-es".
Moreover, if the base form ends in consonant + letter "y", we change "y" for letter "i" and then, we add "es". Watch out! We don't add "es" if the verb ends in vowel + letter "y". In those cases, we just add an "s".

He misses home
She often watches TV
He carries many books to school
The shop opens at 10
He always passes his tests
She works very hard
He rarely says a word
She rushes in to catch the bus
He learns English every day
He fixes cars
He hurries up for the train
She washes her hair every morning
I don't trust her because she always lies
The plane flies high
He plays Scrabble once a month
She stays with us in summer
She writes e-mails every night
He does his homework in the evening
The dog kisses his owners when they give him food
She sings extremely well
He tidies his room after school every day
He goes to New York twice a year
If she marries him, she will be happy
That spoilt child cries to get what he wants
