1. Whenever the noun/subject is plural, the verb should also be in its plural form. In the same way, whenever the noun is singular, the verb should also be singular (-s form).

2. In the first sentence, frogs is a plural noun. Hence, the verb should also be plural (croak).

3. In the second sentence, horses is a plural noun. Hence, the verb should also be plural (gallop).

4. In the third sentence, the subject 'herd of horses' is considered to be a singular noun. Here, we take a herd of horses to be one singular unit. Hence, the verb used is singular (gallops).
