First things first!: ¡Lo primero es lo primero!

Hello! My name’s María, I’m in my late twenties and I’m from a small town in
the centre of Spain. I am currently unemployed and I am really desperate
to find a job. I’ve got a degree in Business Studies and I’ve also got a cer-
tificate in English because I think nowadays knowing at least one foreign
language is essential to get a good job.

Although I’m a family person my priority is my professional career as I need


to think of my future. Therefore, if I have to move to another town, city or
even country, I wouldn’t mind. First things first!

I hope to be lucky and find a good job soon!

1.1.1. Grammar workshop. Present simple

15
SSCE03: Inglés B1

The THIRD PERSON SINGULAR (He, She, It) carries an “S”. We must pay at-
tention to the spelling when forming the third person singular:

–– The ending is –es when the word ends in –s, -ss, -sh, - ch, -x, -o:

He misses, he finishes, he watches, he mixes, he goes…

–– When the verb ends in consonant + y, we change the y for an –i and then,
we add the –es:

He studies, he cries…

–– When the verb ends in vowel + y, we just add the –s:

He plays, he stays…
