Okay, English uses s endings in four different ways.

Number one with plural announce, such as boots, trees or watches.

Number two with verbs such as claps, swims or finishes.

Three with possessive Sze, such as Dan's jumper and finally, with contractions using is or has, for example, the dogs barking or the teachers arrived.

English has three possible sounds for s endings, either, or is how do you know which one to use while you look at the previous sound to see if it's voiced, unveil voiced or other.

If the previous sound is unveil voiced than the s is also unveil voiced and becomes so boot and clap become boots and claps.

For example, has anyone seen my boots or the audience collapse to show its approval?

Now, if the previous sound is voiced than the S is also voiced and becomes so tree and swim become trees and swims.

For example, Don't the trees look lovely today or she swims every morning at six.

If the previous sound is orgy, then the s sound is is so watch and miss become watches and mrs and be careful because when you use the sound is you increase the number of syllables in the word by one.

So watch watches, Ms Mrs, for example, we make the finest watches in the country or come home soon.
