There are different cases when we add "s" to the verb.
1. Talking about the actions of present situation.
2. Talking about the third person i.e. He, She and It.
3. Talking about the possession being in present situation.
Examples:
1. John (He) goes from here.
You can see: The writer says "John (He) goes from here". So, the first case says "actions of the present situation: we have GOES in the sentence; John (He) GOES from here means John (He) is a third person singular and he passes from here. Hence, we have first two of the rules of adding "s" to the verb verified with the help of the above sentence.
2. He / she / It has black hair.
You can see: The writer is talking about all the third persons singular here. Now, there is no need to be confused as, the plural form of "have" (i.e. used for possessions) is "Has". Hence, we can say that "add "s" to the verb when any third person singular possess something being in present.
Note:
He can be John, Carlos, Nick, Obama
She can be Julia, Alina, Maria, Anna, Rose
It can be buildings, places, cats, rats, dogs, horses any animal or non living thing.
ANSWER
The answer is much simpler than that (above).
The only times you use the -s form of the verb is in present simple when you have he/she/it or a singular noun subject.
He likes ice cream. It eats anything.
The policeman walks to work. - policeman = singular noun subject.
