Doubt

Hello, sharklee—and welcome to English Forums.

First, please tell me this: do the following word pairs mix you up also?—

eat/eats

go/goes

run/runs

do/does

study/studies

What is the difference between the pair members?

Hi!

They are both the same verb so to say, but the form 'has' could only be used for third person singular, that includes: He, She and It, or any other noun or pronoun that refers to third person singular:

Alex has a car.

Mary has a car as well.

Mary and Alex have cars.

I have a book,but my brother has a note book.

or in a resturant:

Yes, I do. I would be very glad to know their difference...Anyone...thanks

Foreign man has already told you. The 's' form is for 3rd person singular present tense verb forms only: He/She/My friend/Bangkok/Water has good qualities.

All other subjects use the form wiithout 's': We/You/The Thai people/Onions have good qualities.

Thank you so much for the reply.....

And I usually miss use these two articles "the" & "a". I know "the" is used for a particular / specific thing or situation and "a" for general / not particular but I still get confuse.....

Please anyone....Thanks

That is the general rule for 90% of the cases, yes, but the uses are complex. Entire books have been written on the subject. Start by reading about the English articles at these sites:

As a young little boy, I had a big dream to travel around the world and explore. Now I'm 24 years old and I haven't been to any other country except Thailand and India, which is not at all my dream land. I always wanted to travel and make friends all over the world but my profession always keeps me busy. Had I chosen some other profession, I would have chance to travel. People s
