Q

To know if a verb is singular or plural, you can follow these rules1

A

A singular verb has an ‘s’ added to it in the present tense, such as writes, plays, runs, and uses forms such as is, was, has, does.
A plural verb does not have an ‘s’ added to it, such as write, play, run, and uses forms such as are, were, have and do.
Singular verbs generally have an ‘s’ at their ends and are used with a singular subject (noun).
Plural verbs are used when more than one object/person is doing an action, i.e., plural verbs are used with plural subjects/nouns.
