Every morning, the detective drinks a large cup of coffee. However, yesterday she spilled it all over her desk when a suspect knocked on the door.

drinks: For habits and routines ("Every morning") with a "he/she/it" subject, we must add an -s to the verb.

spilled & knocked: Because these actions happened "yesterday," we must use the past tense by adding -ed to regular verbs.

Tip for Vietnamese speakers: Time words like "yesterday" or "every morning" are great clues, but remember that English verbs also have to change their shape (adding -s or -ed) to match the time!
