Answer 1

Answer:

singular verb must take a singular subject and a plural verb must take a plural subject.

* A subject is whatever is doing the action of the verb. (For details refer to the earlier section of this book) A very simple example of this concept could be the sentence:

The students has taken the test.

The students have taken the test (plural subject & plural verb)

OR

The student has taken the test (singular subject & singular verb)
