Most of the time I hear:
"He says...", "he comes..." e.t.c
Example:
He says he's going home
He comes home late
I'm particularly concerned about the 's' and its meaning in the context.

The s is for the third person singular:
He says he's coming home.
Who says?
I say? You say? They say? We say?
He says? She says? It says?
The 's' at the end conveys the present tense third person singular. It helps you know that he said that.
