00:00Hi kids, today we will learn about verbs for singular and plural.
00:11We know verbs are action words.
00:15For example, my dog runs, jumps, and wags his tail.
00:25Here runs, jumps, and wags are the action words or verbs.
00:33My friend Emma dances very well.
00:38Here the word dances tells about what Emma does.
00:43So here the word dances is an action word or a verb.
00:51I am going to school by bus.
00:54Here the word going tells what I am doing.
00:59So the word going is an action word or a verb.
01:05So kids, verbs are the action words in the sentence.
01:12Here are some sentences.
01:15Let's read them and circle the verbs in them.
01:18I drink a glass of milk twice a day.
01:24Drink is the action word or verb here.
01:27I play the piano every day.
01:32Play is the action word or verb here.
01:36I like to eat ice cream.
01:39Now in this sentence there are two action verbs and they are like and eat.
01:48I eat ice cream every day.
01:53Eat is the action word or verb here.
01:58I write poetry every day.
02:02Write is the action word or the verb here.
02:08I love to dance.
02:11Dance is the action word or verb here.
02:15She is singing a beautiful song.
02:20Playing is the action word or verb here.
02:25They are playing with a disc.
02:29Playing is the action word or verb here.
02:32Drink, play, like, eat, write, dance, singing, dancing, all are action words or verbs.
02:45A sentence can have one or more than one verbs in it.
02:51We should wash our hands before eating.
02:55There are two verbs in this sentence, wash and eating.
03:02I like to dance and sing.
03:06There are three verbs in this sentence, like, dance, and sing.
03:13So you can one or more than one verbs in a sentence.
03:21So you can have one or more than one verbs in a sentence.
03:29Now here we have some more sentences.
03:33Circle the verbs and observe them.
03:37He dances very well.
03:40She dances very well.
03:43They dance very well.
03:46I dance very well.
03:49You dance very well.
03:52So kids, what do you observe here?
03:55The verb in these sentences is either dance or dances.
04:02So we have two forms of the same verb here, dance or dances.
04:10Let's learn the reason behind it.
04:13Verbs that come after I, you, we, they, and plural nouns do not end with S or ES.
04:25When a verb comes after a singular noun, it ends with S or ES.
04:33Let's learn with examples.
04:36Here we have a verb live.
04:39It has two forms, live and lives.
04:45We will use lives with singular naming words or singular nouns.
04:51For example, he lives in a small town.
04:57She lives in a small town.
05:00Joy lives in a very beautiful city.
05:06Now let's see where will we use live.
05:11I live in a small town.
05:16You live in a small town.
05:19They live in a small town.
05:22Joy and Olivia live in a small town.
05:27So where do we use live?
05:31It comes after when we talk about plural naming words or when our sentences have I, you, we,
05:39and they.
05:40Where do we use lives?
05:43It comes after singular naming words and with he, she, and it.
05:50Let's see some more examples.
05:54The verb sing has two forms, sing and sings.
06:01Where do we use sings?
06:04She sings very well.
06:07My brother sings very well.
06:11Olivia sings very well.
06:15Now let's learn about the usage of sing.
06:19They all sing very well.
06:22We love to sing in concerts.
06:26They sing very well.
06:29Both my brother and sister sing very well.
06:35Here we have another verb, like.
06:39We have two forms of like, like and likes.
06:45They like to eat ice cream.
06:48We like to eat ice cream.
06:51I and my friend like to study together.
06:55Would you like to have a cup of coffee?
06:59So we use like when we talk about plural naming words or when our sentences have I, you, we,
07:08and they.
07:10Now let's see the usage of likes.
07:14He likes to eat ice cream.
07:17She likes to read short story books.
07:21John likes to write long stories.
07:24So we use likes with singular naming words and with he, she, and it.
07:32Here we have a sentence, you dash very neatly, and we need to fill it with the right form
07:40of verb, write or writes.
07:44Kids, we have to place a verb after the pronoun you.
07:50According to the rule, the verb after the pronoun you do not end in S or ES.
07:59So we will use write in this blank.
08:03You write very neatly.
08:07So we have another blank, and we have to fill the right form of verb in the blank, study
08:13or studies.
08:15Kids, we have to place a verb after a plural pronoun, they.
08:22So the verb will not end in S or ES.
08:27So we will put study in the blank.
08:31They study together.
08:35Let's see one last example.
08:39My teacher dash very politely.
08:45We have to, one out of the two words, speak or speaks.
08:53We have to place the verb after a singular pronoun, my teacher.
09:00So the verb will end in S or ES.
09:05So we will choose speaks.
09:10My teacher speaks very politely.
09:14So kids, we have learned the usage of singular and plural verbs with the help of many examples.
09:23Now you may go ahead and take a quiz to learn more.
09:26Bye-bye.
