My friend lives in a hostel.
- In the given sentence we are only talking about a single person therefore the correct verb would be "lives" and not "live", if we were talking about more than one person then using "live" would have been perfect.
- For example- The Verma's live in this house.
- Here we are talking about the whole family, hence we used "live".

My friend live in a hostel. Rewrite the following sentence
Correct Sentence:
My friend lives in a hostel
- In the given sentence, we should use the word ''lives'' instead of ''live'' as it gives the proper meaning to the sentence.
- In ''subject-verb'' agreement, subjects and verbs must agree with one another.
- If the subject is singular then the verb is also singular whereas if the subject is plural then the verb is also plural.
- If the noun is singular then add ''s'' to the verb. If the noun is plural then no need to add ''s'' to the verb.
- In the given sentence, the noun ''friend'' is singular so add ''s'' to the verb. hence, the correct sentence will be ''My friend lives in a hostel.
