"Eats" is the third-person singular, present tense indicative of the verb "eat", to consume (usually food). However, as with most present tense forms, it is conditional, because an observational statement is not used except as a confirmation. "John eats bread." means one of two things. That it is a regular activity (he would) or that the act is observed as a confirmation (yes, I see him doing it, so he does). The conversational form for the act is the present participle, "John is eating bread". *All other present tense indicative conjugations are "eat" (I, you, we, they).
