third person singular
Not I/you
Third person singular refers to the grammatical form used when speaking about one person or thing that isn't the speaker or the person being addressed—he, she, it, or a singular noun.
In English, verbs in the present tense take a distinctive form: She walks, He runs, It seems.
The third person singular -s ending is one of the few verb inflections English retains.
