Most verbs only change in the third person singular (see below) in English, but all verbs change to distinguish when something occurs. Though native speakers may not notice it, English verbs also change depending on who performs it and when the action occurs. French uses one extra person category ( vous) that corresponds to addressing “you all / you guys” in English. The form of a verb changes to show who perpetrated the action (person) and when it occurred (tense).
