The sentence 'she go to school' is wrong. The error is with the verb 'go'. In English, when we use 'she', 'he', or 'it' to talk about regular actions, we usually add 's' or 'es' to the verb. So 'go' becomes 'goes'. The correct sentence is 'she goes to school'.
When the subject is 'he', 'she', or 'it', we add 's' or 'es' to the verb. This is called the third person singular rule. For example: I go becomes she goes, you eat becomes he eats, and we play becomes it plays. Remember this rule when using these pronouns.
Let's practice with more examples. 'She walk' is wrong, it should be 'She walks'. 'He run' is wrong, it should be 'He runs'. 'It dance' is wrong, it should be 'It dances'. Notice that some verbs add 'es' instead of just 's', especially when they end in 's', 'sh', 'ch', or 'x'.
Some verbs have special rules. For verbs ending in 'y', like 'try', we change 'y' to 'ies' to make 'tries'. But for 'play', we just add 's' to make 'plays'. Some verbs are irregular: 'have' becomes 'has', 'do' becomes 'does', and 'go' becomes 'goes'. These special cases need to be memorized.
Let's remember the important rule: when using 'he', 'she', or 'it', always add 's' or 'es' to the verb. So 'she goes to school' is correct. Practice this rule every day to speak English correctly. Good job learning this grammar rule!
