To determine the correct column for each verb, we need to analyze the pronunciation of each word and decide whether the added _s or _es sounds like /s/, /z/, or /iz/. Here are the results: **/s/** * pick: pɪk → picks (pɪks) /s/ * teach: tiʧ → teaches (tiʧɪz) /iz/ (exception) * drink: drɪŋk → drinks (drɪŋks) /s/ * wear: wɛr → wears (wɛrz) /z/ * pass: pæs → passes (pæsɪz) /iz/ * wash: wɑʃ → washes (wɑʃɪz) /iz/ * walk: wɔk → walks (wɔks) /s/ * spend: spɛnd → spends (spɛndz) /z/ * laugh: læf → laughs (læfs) /s/ * climb: klaɪm → climbs (klaɪmz) /z/ * run: rən → runs (rənz) /z/ * sleep: slip → sleeps (sliːps) /s/ * hope: hoʊp → hopes (hoʊps) /s/ * put: pʊt → puts (pʊts) /s/ * crash: kræʃ → crashes (kræʃɪz) /iz/ * feel: fil → feels (fiːlz) /z/ * make: meɪk → makes (meɪks) /s/ * judge: ʤəʤ → judges (ʤəʤɪz) /iz/ * swim: swɪm → swims (swɪmz) /z/ * change: ʧeɪnʤ → changes (ʧeɪnʤɪz) /iz/ * read: rɛd → reads (riːdz) /z/ * understand: əndərˈstænd → understands (əndərˈstændz) /z/ The corrected table would be: | /s/ | /z/ | /iz/ | | --- | --- | --- | | pick (picks) | wear (wears) | teach (teaches) | | drink (drinks) | spend (spends) | pass (passes) | | walk (walks) | climb (climbs) | wash (washes) | | spend (spends) | run (runs) | crash (crashes) | | laugh (laughs) | feel (feels) | judge (judges) | | sleep (sleeps) | swim (swims) | change (changes) | | hope (hopes) | read (reads) | | | put (puts) | understand (understands) | | | make (makes) | lose (loses) | | Forgive is a special case because its third person singular present tense is 'forgives' with the pronunciation /fərˈgɪvz/, which sounds like /z/. Finish has the pronunciation ˈfɪnɪʃ and its third person singular present tense 'finishes' sounds like /iz/.
