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:

  2. My friends were waiting for me at the station. (state or situation)
  3. They have gone to the beach. (auxiliary verb)
