Learn English – Adding -s or -ed at the end of verb

present-tenseverbs

I have a present tense sentence where I can't tell if adding -s or -ed at the end of verb.

The sentence goes like this :

He falls down right after he gets the kite causing his leg to injure.

The injure word here, should it be added by -s since it is referring to leg which is singular and synchronized with the present tense sentence? Or should it be in a past tense form because he gets the injury right after he gets the kite?

Best Answer

The verbs falls and gets are in 3rd-person singular present tense. You are correct.

However, the verb injure cannot be used like that. The leg becomes injured.

He falls down right after he gets the kite, injuring his leg.

He falls down right after he gets the kite and injures his leg.
