If we see deeply these examples, there are verb plus –s and

just put –s.

Go + es = goes
•
Wash + es = washes
•
Miss + es = misses
•
Relax + es = relaxes
•
Buzz + es = buzzes
•
Study + es = studies
•
Try + es = tries
*Note:
Bila kata
kerja berakhiran huruf –y didahului huruf mati, maka –y harus
lebih dahulu diganti dengan i sebelum ditambah –es; tetapi bila
hurus –y didahului huruf hidup, maka hanya menambah –s saja:
buy + s
= buys
play + s
= plays
