Choose the verb that fits the subject
How do I choose the correct present-tense verb?
Choose the present-tense verb that agrees with the subject, not the nearest noun. With most verbs, singular subjects usually take works, while plural subjects take work; be and other common verbs have their own forms. Everyone and each stay singular. For example, 'The packet of forms arrives today.' After does or doesn't, use the base verb.
याद रखने वाली बातें
- Find the subject before choosing the verb.
- Extra words between subject and verb can mislead you.
- Everyone and each take singular verb forms.
- There is and there are depend on the following noun.

पूरी बात समझें
Subject-verb agreement means choosing a verb form that matches its subject. With most verbs in present-tense statements, he, she, it, and a singular noun take an ending such as s: the machine works. Plural nouns use the base form: the machines work.
The repair desk opens at nine.
यह सही क्यों है: One desk takes opens.
2 और उदाहरण
-

Choose the form for one person or several
Start with a small decision: does the subject name one person or thing, or more than one? At the repair event, a helper checks tickets and helpers check tickets. In present-tense statements, most verbs add s for he, she, it, or one named person or thing. I and you use the base form, even when they refer to one person.
-
One helper carries the heavy bags.
यह सही क्यों है: Carry changes to carries after one helper.
-
You carry the light bags.
यह सही क्यों है: You takes carry, whether it means one person or several.
अब आपकी बारी
Which sentence describes several helpers correctly?
जवाब: The helpers carry the bags.
जवाब देखें
जवाब: The helpers carry the bags.
Helpers is plural, so use carry.
Keep the subject when extra words appear
A description can sit between the subject and its verb. In the sentence about a basket of cables, basket names the thing you are describing; of cables tells you what it contains. Temporarily remove that phrase and read the shorter sentence. This also helps with descriptions of location, such as beside the door. Check the subject again before restoring the extra words.
-
The basket of cables stays under the table.
यह सही क्यों है: The shorter pattern is the basket stays.
-
The lamps beside the door need new bulbs.
यह सही क्यों है: Lamps controls need, although door is closer.
Must or can attend: choose the right verb और Verbs followed by infinitives: choose the next verb में इसका और अभ्यास कर सकते हैं।
अब आपकी बारी
Complete the sentence: The bag of spare parts ___ upstairs.
जवाब: is
जवाब देखें
जवाब: is
Bag is the singular subject; spare parts describes its contents.
Choose is, are, has, or have
Some common verbs do not follow the simple pattern of adding s. Use is and has with he, she, it, or a singular noun. Use are and have with plural nouns, we, and they. You also takes are and have. I takes am and have. Learn these as short pairs so that you can recognize them quickly in spoken updates.
-
The sewing machine has a broken needle.
यह सही क्यों है: One machine takes has.
-
The spare needles are in a small tin.
यह सही क्यों है: Needles is plural, so use are.
अब आपकी बारी
Which sentence correctly describes one person?
जवाब: I am ready to help.
जवाब देखें
जवाब: I am ready to help.
The correct present-tense form of be with I is am.
Use a singular verb with everyone and each
Everyone describes all the people in a group, but it takes a singular verb. Each also takes a singular verb when it is the subject, including in each of the visitors. Compare these with all the visitors, which is plural. Someone, somebody, and nobody follow the singular pattern too. A later word such as their does not change the verb choice.
-
Everyone leaves their coat by the entrance.
यह सही क्यों है: Everyone takes leaves, even with their later in the sentence.
-
Each of the visitors has a number.
यह सही क्यों है: Each controls has; visitors belongs to the extra phrase.
अब आपकी बारी
Choose the correct sentence about all the visitors.
जवाब: Everyone needs a number.
जवाब देखें
जवाब: Everyone needs a number.
Everyone takes the singular forms needs and is.
Look after there to choose is or are
Use there is or there are to introduce something, such as equipment in a room. The noun that guides your choice comes after the verb: there is a stool; there are three stools. You may hear there's before plural nouns in casual conversation. Recognize that usage when listening, but choose there are with plural nouns in these exercises and in careful writing.
-
There is a clean cloth beside the sink.
यह सही क्यों है: A clean cloth is singular.
-
There are two empty seats near the window.
यह सही क्यों है: Two empty seats needs are.
अब आपकी बारी
Complete this written notice: There ___ three spare chairs outside.
जवाब: are
जवाब देखें
जवाब: are
The notice introduces three chairs, so the plural form are fits.
Distinguish and from with
When and joins two different people as the subject, use a plural verb. With works differently: it adds information about who accompanies the main person. Along with follows the same pattern. This distinction can help you understand who a message mainly describes. Find the main subject before deciding whether the second person also controls the verb.
-
Maya and her neighbor are carrying a table.
यह सही क्यों है: And joins two people into a plural subject.
-
Maya, along with her neighbor, is carrying a table.
यह सही क्यों है: Maya remains the singular subject.
अब आपकी बारी
Complete the sentence: Ben and his sister ___ the welcome desk.
जवाब: run
जवाब देखें
जवाब: run
Ben and his sister are two people joined by and, so use run.
Listen for endings and shortened forms
Small verb sounds can be easy to miss. The ending in works sounds like s, while the ending in needs sounds like z. Is and are may be quiet in a spoken sentence. In she's ready, she's means she is. Listen once for the whole message, then listen again for the subject and verb. Use grammar to check what you heard.
-
The fan works, but it needs cleaning.
यह सही क्यों है: Listen for different final sounds in works and needs.
-
She's ready to collect her radio.
यह सही क्यों है: She's expands to she is before ready.
अब आपकी बारी
What does she's mean in She's ready to collect her radio?
जवाब: She is
जवाब देखें
जवाब: She is
Ready describes her state, so the full form here is she is.
Check questions and negative sentences in writing
When checking a written question or negative sentence, look for does or doesn't. These forms already show the singular choice, so the main verb keeps its base form: does the lamp work, not does the lamp works. Plural subjects use do or don't. After can, both singular and plural subjects use the base form. Check these patterns separately from ordinary positive statements.
-
The printer doesn't need more paper.
यह सही क्यों है: Doesn't is followed by need, without s.
-
Can these scissors cut thick fabric?
यह सही क्यों है: After can, use the base form cut.
अब आपकी बारी
Which question is ready to send?
जवाब: Does the clock need a battery?
जवाब देखें
जवाब: Does the clock need a battery?
One clock takes does, and the main verb stays in the base form need.
आम गलतियाँ
कौन-सी गलती हो सकती है, उसकी जगह क्या कहें और क्यों।

Each takes a singular verb, despite the plural noun machines.
-
यह नहीं:
There is two messages on the screen.कहें: There are two messages on the screen.
The noun after there is plural, so use are.

"Choose the verb that fits the subject" के बारे में सवाल
Why does a singular subject sometimes need a verb ending in s?
The s on a noun and the s on a verb do different jobs. A noun often adds s to mean more than one. Most present-tense verbs add s with he, she, it, or a singular noun in a positive statement. Compare the subject and verb as a pair.
The driver waits outside.
The drivers wait outside.
Can I use their after everyone?
Yes. Their can refer back to everyone without identifying anyone's gender. Everyone still takes a singular verb in the present tense. Check the verb directly connected to everyone, even when their appears later.
Everyone keeps their ticket until the end.
Do each of the boxes and all the boxes take the same verb?
No. Each of the boxes takes a singular verb because each considers the boxes one at a time. All the boxes takes a plural verb. The nearby word boxes does not make each plural.
Each of the boxes has a label.
All the boxes have labels.
Why is there no s on work after does?
Does already marks the singular subject in a present-tense question or negative sentence. The following main verb uses its base form. The same rule applies after doesn't, the shortened form of does not.
Does the heater work at night?
The heater doesn't work at night.
Does this singular and plural difference also happen in the past?
Most past-tense verbs keep the same form with singular and plural subjects. Be is a useful exception: he, she, it, and singular nouns usually take was, while plural nouns, we, they, and you take were. I usually takes was.
The visitor arrived early.
The visitors arrived early.
The visitors were tired.
जाने से पहले
यह याद रखें
Match the verb to the subject, not simply to the nearest noun. Check everyone and each as singular forms, and look after there for the noun. With does or doesn't, use the base form of the main verb.
