Common mistake He like (likes) me

One common mistake that people often make is using the incorrect verb form when using pronouns. Take for example the sentence, "He like me." In this case, the correct form should be "He likes me."

Using the Correct Verb Form

When using pronouns like he, she, it, or a singular noun, we need to use the correct verb form. In the present tense, we add an -s to the base form of the verb for he, she, or it.

  • I like ice cream. (not "I likes ice cream")
  • She loves to dance. (not "She love to dance")
  • It runs fast. (not "It run fast")

However, if the subject is plural or a pronoun like I, you, we, or they, we use the base form of the verb without the -s.

  • We like to go swimming. (not "We likes to go swimming")
  • They are running late. (not "They is running late")
  • You have a beautiful voice. (not "You has a beautiful voice")

Common Mistakes to Avoid

Here are some common mistakes to avoid when using pronouns:

  • He like me. (He likes me.)
  • She go to the store. (She goes to the store.)
  • They is happy. (They are happy.)
