In the simple present tense, the verb takes the marker –s when the subject is a singular noun or pronoun. With plural subjects, the verb does not take the marker –s.

Compare:

My sister sings very well. (Here the verb ‘sing’ takes the marker ‘-s’ because the subject is the singular noun ‘my sister’.)
