Plural Verb

Description

A plural verb is a verb form that is used in a sentence to indicate that the subject is more than one.

Sense 1: Grammatical Usage

In grammar, a plural verb is employed when the subject of a sentence is in a plural form, signifying multiple entities. This usage helps maintain subject-verb agreement.

Example sentences:

1. The cats are playing in the garden. (action)
2. My friends were waiting for me at the station. (state or situation)
3. They have gone to the beach. (auxiliary verb)

Example sentences:

1. The team are training hard for the championship. (sports)
2. His family enjoy going on vacations together. (family activities)
3. The protesters are demanding justice. (social or political movements)
