Hello CJ,
Your explanation is always helpful to me.
I admire you a lot.
One more question from a school boy (not I)
He/She/It reads..........(He/She/It being singular)
I read ....................( I is also singular)
Then Why not " I reads ......................"
I told him English is like that . You have to follw it.

You gave a very good answer. English is like that.
The "s" that you add is only added when the subject is one person or thing -- other than yourself or the person you are talking to! So you say "I read" because you are talking about yourself, not about another person or thing. You also say "You read" because you are talking about the same person you are talking to.
