rolig GHibbs, most dictionaries do not give separate entries for regular inflections of words. You may safely assume that the 3rd pers. sg. present form of a verb is derived by adding an -s. Dictionaries only specify inflected forms if they are irregular, for example, is, goes, and does. Sep 7, 2011
