Answers & Comments
Answer:
1, The basic parts of a sentence are the subject and the verb. The subject is usually a noun—a word (or phrase) that names a person, place, or thing. The verb (or predicate) usually follows the subject and identifies an action or a state of being
2, The rules for making singular verbs plural are: Singular verbs - add -s or -es (he bakes, she walks, Michele washes) Plural verbs - don't add -s or -es (they bake, we walk, the Hamiltons wash)
3, When two subjects are joined by 'and', the verb is plural. For example: My friend and his mother are in town. RULE 2: When two singular nouns joined by 'and' refer to the same person or thing, the verb is singular. For example: The captain and coach of the team has been sacked
4, Subjects and verbs must AGREE with one another in number (singular or plural). Thus, if a subject is singular, its verb must also be singular; if a subject is plural, its verb must also be plural. verbs REMOVE an s from the singular form.
