Two songs to help students remember the -s or -es in the 3rd person singular of the Present Simple

I had never used Artificial Intelligence to create songs, but had listened to some produced by Joe Dale using Suno. The workflow he suggested was ask ChatGPT to write the lyrics and copy them into Suno.

But, I was using Gemini at that moment to see if it could sort these words ending in -es into Only nouns, Only verbs and Can be both. (It was about as good as me. We both made mistakes!) So, I decided to add in a prompt. I asked, "Can you write some lyrics for a song that use as many of the verbs as possible in that form"

And it produced a song! Apparently when I asked for 'lyrics', Gemini decided to create the song itself using Lyria 3 and Music

But I wasn't satisfied with what Gemini produced and asked, "Can you restrict the -es endings to verbs, make it in British English and think of A2 level learners?" because it used some nouns ending in -es and it used the word 'faucet'. This is the 30-second song it created:

I had imagined Gemini would provide the lyrics to a song, not produce a song, however short!

I then went back to Joe Dale's original plan. So, I asked ChatGPT, "I want a list of verbs that end in -es suitable for A2 learners. Don’t include goes and does as the -es is not syllabic" Then I asked, "Can you create the lyrics for a song that includes a lot of these verb forms" and ChatGPT provided the lyrics below, which I pasted into Suno asking for a 'Catchy ear-worm song'

Every Day She... Verse 1 Every morning she washes her face, Then she brushes her hair with grace. She finishes breakfast and leaves on time, She passes the park and starts to climb. She watches people walking by, She wishes she could learn to fly. She catches the bus at half past eight, She never misses because she's never late. Chorus She watches, she washes, She brushes, she finishes too. She passes, she catches, There's always something to do. She wishes, she teaches, She works and she studies each day. She fixes problems when she can, Then smiles and goes on her way. Verse 2 At school she teaches with a smile, The children listen all the while. She fixes mistakes in every line, And mixes learning with a good time. She never misses a chance to help, She relaxes later by herself. She kisses her family when she's home, And never feels she's all alone. Chorus She watches, she washes, She brushes, she finishes too. She passes, she catches, There's always something to do. She wishes, she teaches, She works and she studies each day. She fixes problems when she can, Then smiles and goes on her way. Outro She washes, she watches, She passes and catches the bus. She teaches, she finishes, And life keeps moving for all of us.
