It's easy to ask kids to follow rules about singular and plural verbs and simple past and present tense.
However, we also need to tell them there are many instances where the "neutral" form has to be used when the verb is preceded by any of these words:
1) to
2) do/does/don't/does not
3) did/did not/didn't
4) can/cannot
5) could/could not/couldn't
6) will/will not/won't
7) would/would not/woudn't
8) shall/shan't/shall not
9) should/should not/shouldn't
10) must/mustn't/must not
11) another verb e.g She saw her "fall" down. e.g I let her "go" yesterday.
