He Go or He Goes? Which One Is Correct

Quick Answer

The correct form is "he goes."

Third-person singular subjects (he, she, it) require the verb to have -s or -es added in the present simple tense.

Explanation

In the present simple tense, verbs change form based on the subject. When the subject is he, she, it, or a singular noun, you must add -s or -es to the base verb.

Rule: He/She/It + verb + s/es
