Answer 1

There are 3 dozen of eggs in the basket.

Explanation:

• Helping verbs are used to connect the words in a sentence.

• In the present tense "is" and "are" are used to connect to the nouns in the sentence.

• "is" is used for singular nouns and "are" is used for plural nouns.

• Whereas, in the past tense, "was" and "were" are used instead of "is" and "are".

• "was" is used for singular nouns and "were" is used for plural nouns.
