Singular & Plural Basics

This is very basic article for understand the variation between singular and plural .Because often we are confusing to pick the suitable one.Here I explain you some rules about those.

1.Singular subjects(noun)+singular verb
2.Plural subjects(noun)+plural verb


Some common singular subjects are
anybody,each,each one,either,neither,everyone,nobody,no one,somebody,someone

As i had told my last article ,Everything is related to time which is tenses.So i explain this concept for each tense.Because it varies for each tense.
Mostly the pronouns I, he,she,it belong to singular category and we ,you,they belong to plural category.

It describes the state of the subjects.

1.Present tense
                     Singular-is
                     Plural -are
(e.g)
He is my friend
They are my family
Candidates are men and women

2.Past tense

                     Singular-was
                     Plural -were

(e.g)
It was too long
My friends were in India

3.Future tense
                            In future tense no discrimination ."will" is used for both singular and plural.


(e.g)
They will be my friends.
