Hello,

I know that, in writing (simple present) we add 's' to the verb. Not always.
You do not add ‘s’ when the subject of the sentence is other than a third person singular noun. The subjects of following sentences are either plural noun or 1st or 2nd person singular or plural pronoun.
Many boys play foot ball.
I play tennis.
You play basket ball.
They play cricket.
can I have more advanced examples or a long text that shows the use of s in differnet situations.
To form the third person singular present tense form verbs, you add -s to the end of the verb if it ends with a consonant or vowel ‘e’, but if the verb end in an -s, -z, -x, -ch, or –sh, you add ‘es’ as:
I usually cook and he cleans the utensils.
The dry wood (catch) catches fire easily.
The teacher dislikes a student who argues in the class.
In these example:

ask someone who wakes up to wake you up.

( why not adding s to the second wake)

The first ’wakes’ is a singular third person form verb and the secind ‘to wake’ is the infinitive form. You can not add 's' to an infinitive.

which one in correct;

this makes me happy:tick:

this is makes me happy:cross:

Why 'that' and not 'which'?

sarat
Why 'that' and not 'which'?

You use that for introducing a restrictive clause but I think here any one can work as both refer to groups or things.
