-Es is needed when He/She/It acts on a Receiver

This lesson is the first one where you see He or She as the doers ('subjects') in a sentence with a verb that is directed towards some other person or thing. In such a sentence, you have to add a special -s ending onto the verb, as summarized in the rule below. 


(1) The He/She/It -es Rule

If He, She, It or a separate noun is the doer in a sentence, and some other person

or thing is present as the receiver of the action, then you must add an '-es' ending

onto the verb. 


Some examples of when the -es is required like this are shown in (2).


(2) Some Examples of Sentences where -es is Required


(a) Ímexstexwes tútl'ó te sqwemá:y.

He walks the dog. ['he' is acting on 'the dog', so -es appears on ímexstexw]


(b) Lép'exwes tl' Chól te sth'óqwi.

John eats the fish. [Chól is acting on 'the fish', so -es appears on lépex.


The -es ending is not required for other doers (e.g. in Tsel ímexwstexw te sqwemá:y, no -es appears on the verb). No -es ending is needed, either, if he, she, it or a separate noun acts alone, not on some other receiver (e.g. in Imex tútl'ó, no -es is needed on ímex, because no-one receives the action. The

-es sometimes comes out simply as an -s, depending on whether the -s or -es is easier to pronounce.
