Here Is A Singular Subject

Another ex: "Suni" again singular "says he would like to visit Moscow someday "you might be wondering If Sunai is singular why is it "like" and not "likes" over here that's because when we have a modal verb like will, would, can, could, shall, should and so on we don't apply the subject verb agreement rules. We just put the modal and then base form of the verb, that's why Suni says he says he would like to visit Moscow someday.

In The Sentence "I did take out laundry." Did is a helping verb in the sentence. "Will you arrive on time?" "Will is a helping verb."

Grammar Rules OK Helping verbs are sometimes used for emphasis and to ask questions. For EX:

Another Compound Subject. The Subject Is To Be Considered To Be Singular and the verb is also in singular form.

Is connected by "or". Mark or Anna lives in Florida notice that we have a singular verb LIVES. This is because the conjunction "or" means that either Mark or Anna (one of those two) is in Florida not both of them.

The difference between "For" and "since"

Is that "for" talks about the amount of time like five p.m. The word "Since" Mentions the starting point of the action like five P.m. Ex: "He has been playing tennis since he was a child." starting when he was little (maybe when he was five years old) and he still plays. Let's say he is now 25, now; so, "He's been playing tennis for 20 years. Ex: "She has been learning English for eight months. Ex: Since last October.
