CONCLUSIONES Y/O ACTIVIDADES DE INVESTIGACIÓN SUGERIDAS
When witing sentences in Present Simple, be sure you remember the spelling rules to work with the 3rd person singular.The general rule is to add „s‟ ,but if the verbs end in ‘ch,sh,ss,x, or o‟ add „es’.If the verbs end in consonant+y,
change by „i‟ and add „es‟ (ies).
To make comparisons identify the adjective and apply the rules.
Be careful with the irregular nouns when changing into plural.
Use the business tems connected to company structure.
