Explanation:

We know that following the subject-verb agreement, if a singular subject is under consideration, the verb does not contains an '-s' or '-es' with it but it is used where the subject is plural. For ex.: Frogs live in the forest and Frog lives in the forest. Here, we can see when there is a singular frog, the verb is used with '-s' and vice versa.
