Can verbs be plural and singular?

Verbs don't have singular and plural forms in the same way nouns do. They change their form to agree with the subject in person and number.

Here's how it works:

* Person: This refers to who is performing the action:

* First person: I, we

* Second person: You

* Third person: He, she, it, they

* Number: This refers to whether the subject is singular or plural:

* Singular: One person or thing

* Plural: More than one person or thing

Example:

* Singular, third person: *She walks to school.*

* Plural, third person: *They walk to school.*

Key points:

* Verbs change their form based on the subject, not the object.

* The subject is the person or thing performing the action.

* The object is the person or thing receiving the action.

So, while verbs don't have "plural" forms in the same way nouns do, they do change their form to agree with the subject in person and number.
