Read about Miss Clark and her family. What does Miss Clark do every day?
In the week, Miss Clark’s life is very normal. She wakes up early and goes to school by bus.
She teaches children and she goes home at 3 o’clock. In the evening, she reads a book and
watches TV. She always takes her son Dylan and her dog Bowie to the park. Dylan plays
football and Bowie runs by the lake. In the evening, Miss Clark has a salad for dinner, Dylan
has pasta and Bowie has bones. Miss Clark drinks three glasses of water every day, and
Dylan does his homework.
But on Saturdays their lives are very different…
Miss Clark wakes up very late. She goes to karate class. She wins karate competitions.
She drives a red Ferrari. Dylan plays the guitar in a rock band. He sings, too. And Bowie?
Bowie goes to the police station and helps police find criminals. Bowie gets awards from the
police for his hard work. Every Saturday evening, Miss Clark is really thirsty, so she drinks a
bottle of milk. Dylan eats three pizzas. Bowie eats five!

Look at the verbs again. What is different about them? They end in ‘s’ or ‘es’. Why is this?
This is the form of the verb we use with ‘she’, ‘he’ or ‘it’.
