When using 'it' with special verbs in the Present Simple Tense, verbs ending in -o (go), -ch (catch), -sh (wash), or -ss/ -s (pass, miss) require adding -es to form the third-person singular: goes, catches, washes, passes, misses. This rule applies to all special verbs regardless of the subject 'it'.
