We'll give it to her when she arrives.

B. Form :

In the third person singular the verb always ends in -s:


he wants, she needs, he gives, she thinks.

Negative and question forms use DOES (= the third person of the
auxiliary 'DO') + the infinitive of the verb.

He wants ice cream. Does he want strawberry? He does not want
vanilla.

Verbs ending in -y : the third person changes the -y to -ies:


fly --> flies, cry --> cries
Exception: if there is a vowel before the -y:
play --> plays, pray --> prays

Add -es to verbs ending in:-ss, -x, -sh, -ch, o:


he passes, she catches, he fixes, it pushes
