Why does this happen?

Hello.

First off all, please take a look at this page: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MBC_2

Well, now in the middle of the first line, there is this sentence: During its debut, it broadcast http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Film and...

So generaly, when we use he, she, it, we should add a s/es at the end of the sentence. Like these:

He goes to school. She coocks the dinner. And so on..

So I think there should be: it broadcasts..... So can anyone tell me why "s" was not followed after the verb?

Thank you.

JM.

kast| verb ( past - cast or - casted ; past part. - cast or - casted ) [ trans. ] They use broadcast in the past tense.

  • kast| verb ( past - cast or - casted ; past part.
  • - cast or - casted ) [ trans.
  • ] They use broadcast in the past tense.
  • It's acceptable according to the above entry from the Oxford dictionary and they have used it consistently in the paragraph, so technically it's correct.
