thank you dr.braodbrain for the appreciation.. i am just here to give my help to those who are in need of help. i may not be correct all the time but at least i am reaching out to those whose minds our clouded with the new language. also, complement like yours keeps the fire in me to continue helping other people in need of help.

more power to you dr.broadbrain and to all those who are generous enough to impart their knowledge and creating a society that helps one another regardless of race or social status.

Dear Alyssia Your sentence is I wakes up Dear Alyssia I saw your sentence I wakes up early The correct sentence is I wake up early It is a simple present tense. I, we , you & they – you must put the 1st form of the verb.

eg: I wake up early.

      We eat pizza.

      You come for work.

      They play football.

 He, she & it – you must put the 1st form of the verb+s eg: He wakes up early.

She goes to school. It barks at me.
