Verbs aren't "singular" or "plural" in that sense: I drop (1st person singular subject -> plain verb) you drop (2nd person numberless subject -> plain verb) she drops (3rd person singular subject -> -s verb) we drop (1st person plural subject -> plain verb) they drop (3rd person plural subject -> plain verb) The biggest exception to the conjugation pattern in English, as it is in many languages, is be, whose plain form is are, -s form is is, and special first-person singular form is am (mnemonic: are me). Historical notes Dialects from before the English Guideline had variations. "You" became numberless in the seventeenth century. Before then, it was plural, and there was an additional -st form: thou dropst (2nd person singular pronoun -> -st form) At one time, there was a -th form, used for emphatically distinguishing -s verbs from plural nouns. It survives today primarily in the legal term "witnesseth". she droppeth (3rd person singular pronoun -> -th form)
I see that TC not only includes tetris guides but it also includes English guides. I can see it now. TGM: Gm TAP Death: Lvl 679 English: Bachelor's Degree
okay, so third person singular subject adds -s to verb? or in the case of that, it's a... singular collective pronoun? i'm confused.
We only have one word for "you" unlike the French (tu/vous) or the Germans (Du/Sie). I'm not sure which part of Switzerland you're from, but hopefully you understood that. Just don't ask for examles in Italian or Romansch
Hell, I knew about th -st form, but never heard about that -th one. Need to re-read shakespeare. But in english this time
