    Note

    Agreement does the work here: the -s appears only with he, she, it or a singular noun (the chef prepares), while every other subject takes plain prepare. The verb runs both ways. With an object it readies something: a meal, a budget, a compound. Without one it turns back on the subject, so she prepares means she gets herself ready, usually followed by for.
