When the subject is a singular noun (ONE), the verb must be in singular form.
Examples:
Muhammad likes to make videos. He loves to edit the videos. He happily edits videos during his free time. His free time is used for editing videos. A video requires a few minutes to a few hours to edit.
- first sentence: singular noun (Muhammad) + verb (likes); second sentence: singular pronoun (He) + verb (loves); third sentence: singular pronoun (He) + verb (edits) [with an adverb 'happily' in between]; fourth sentence: singular noun (free time) + verb (is used); fifth sentence: singular noun (A video) + verb (requires)
When the subject is a plural noun (MORE THAN ONE), the verb must be in plural form.
Examples:
Zahirah and Mimie like to make pancakes. They love making pancakes. The two girls carefully make pancakes during their kitchen class. Their lecturers enjoy eating their pancakes so much. Many people buy their pancakes when they are selling them.
- first sentence: plural noun (Zahirah and Mimie) + verb (like); second sentence: plural pronoun (They) + verb (love); third sentence: plural noun (The two girls) + verb (make) [with an adverb 'carefully' in between]; fourth sentence: plural noun (lecturers) + verb (enjoy); fifth sentence: plural noun (Many people) + verb (buy)..... plural pronoun (they) + verb (are selling)
*** However, if the subject is followed by a modal verb, the base form of the verb is used.
Examples:
Muhammad will happily edit videos during his free time.
Zahirah and Mimie will be selling their pancakes.
