    Note

    A regular present-tense form: the bare verb plus -s, used when the subject is he, she, it or a singular noun. It carries both meanings of inspect, careful scrutiny for problems and an official viewing. The simple present suits the second especially well, since inspection is so often a routine duty: an officer inspects the site every morning, a board inspects the accounts each year.
