Simple Present - Exceptions in Spelling The 3rd person singular is usually formed by adding s. But there are a few exceptions to the rule:
Animation on exceptions in spelling when adding 's'
The verbs can, may, might, must remain the same in all forms. So don't add s.
example: he can, she may, it must
Verbs ending in o or a sibilant (ch, sh, s, x) add es instead of s.
example: do - he does, wash - she washes
A final y after a consonant becomes ie before s.
example: worry - he worries
But: A final y after a vowel (a, e, i, o, u) is not modified.
example: play - he plays

1. I can - he

Present Progressive - Introduction The present progressive puts emphasis on the course or duration of an action.
The present progressive is used for actions going on in the moment of speaking and for actions taking place only
for a short period of time. It is also used to express development and actions that are arranged for the near future.
Present progressive is also known as present continuous.
Use:
am with the personal pronoun I
is with the personal pronouns he, she or it (or the singular form of nouns)
are with the personal pronouns you, we, they (or the plural form of nouns)
affirmative negative question
I I am playing. I am not playing. Am I playing?
he, she, it He is playing. He is not playing. Is he playing?
you, we, they You are playing. You are not playing. Are you playing?
Tips on how to form negative sentences and questions
Animation: negative sentences and questions
In negative sentences, we put not between the form of be and the verb.
In questions, we simply swop the places of subject and the form of be.

you You are jumping.
he He is not dreaming.
she Is she sleeping?

Present Progressive - Exceptions in Spelling
A single, silent e at the end of the word is dropped before ing.
Where is Ashley
example: come - comingI am coming home. You are coming home. He is coming home.
But: ee at the end of the word is not changed
example: agree - agreeing
The final consonant after a short, stressed vowel is doubled before ing.
example: sit - sitting
I am sitting on the sofa. You are sitting on the sofa. He is sitting on the sofa.
The letter l as final consonant after a vowel is always doubled before ing.
example: travel - travellingI am travelling around. You are travelling around. He is travelling around.
Mind: This applies only for British English; in American English there is usually only one l.
An ie at the end of a word becomes y before ing.
example: lie - lyingI am lying in bed. You are lying in bed. He is lying in bed.
