A noun that ends in 's' is not necessarily plural. Nouns that end in 's' require the suffix 'es' to be added to pluralize them. For example:

  • bus (singular) > buses (plural)
  • glass (singular) > glasses (plural)
  • kiss (singular) > kisses (plural)
  • gas (singular) > gases (plural)

When used as a verb, begin is plural and begins is singular. This is due to subject verb agreement. One needs only look at a couple sample sentence to see the difference. "He begins work at dawn." "They begin work at dawn." In the first sentence, the subject is singular, and therefore, must have a singular verb, which is begins. In the second sentence, the subject is plural, and therefore, must have a plural verb, which is begin. Essentially, don't let the "s" on the end confuse you. When it comes to verbs, the "s" does not imply plurality.

A verb must agree with the subject (person or thing that is performing the verb) in both number (singular or plural) and Person (1st 2nd or 3rd)Singular is used when there is only one subject, while plural is used when there are multiple subjects.1st person is used when the speaker is the subject (I), 2nd person is used when the speaker is talking to the subject (you), and 3rd person is used when the speaker is talking about the subject (he, she, it).Verbs are conjugated based on the number and the person of the subject. Most english verbs require little conjugation: and "-s" is added to the end of the verb if it is 3rd person singular (For example, he writes the words).
