Present Simple по форме совпадает с инфинитивом1 глагола (без частицы to) во всех лицах, кроме 3-го лица единственного числа, принимающего окончание -s (-es).

ПРАВОПИСАНИЕ окончания -s/-es у глаголов в 3 л. ед. ч.:
К большинству инфинитивов прибавляется окончание -s:
I speak – he speaks
You eat – she eats
Если инфинитив оканчивается на шипящие и свистящие звуки -sh, -ch, -tch, -x, -ss, -zz, а также -o, то мы добавляем окончание -es:
We watch – he watches
They miss – she misses

We do – she does
Если инфинитив оканчивается на -y, а перед -y согласная, то -y меняется на -i + -es:
