REGRAS DE ORTOGRAFIA DA TERCEIRA PESSOA DO SIMPLE PRESENT

2. Se o verbo sendo conjugado termina com uma consoante e com –y, na muda-se o –y para –i e adiciona-se –es à terceira pessoa do singular.

ATENÇÃO!
Se o verbo terminar com uma vogal (a, e, i, o, u) seguida de –y, ele não muda. Porém, na terceira pessoa do singular adiciona-se um –s.
He/she/it = Adiciona-se um –s ao infinitivo.
Exemplos:
