What is the correct position of soon in these sentences Soon you will have forgotten him or You will soon have forgotten him?

"Soon, you will have forgotten him" and "You will soon have forgotten him" are both grammatically correct; however, while the first sounds better, neither sounds very natural. A better phrasing, if it fits the context, would be "You will soon forget him." Alternatively, you could keep the motherly tone by saying "Soon enough, you will have forgotten (all) about him," or a variation of the like.

Do most singular nouns that end with s take plural verbs?

Subjects and verbs must agree in number, so if the noun is singular (regardless of the ending letter) it would take the singular conjugation of a verb.

Examples:

A walrus has large tusks.

My boss is on vacation.

That dress fits perfectly!

Some plural nouns do not end with an -s, but take the verb for a plural form.

Examples:

The man was riding a bicycle. The menwere riding bicycles.

The child is waiting for lunch. The children are waiting for lunch.

A deer was near the road. Three deerwere near the road.

What is a companion noun for RESIGN?

What are the rules for adding s adding es and adding ies to a singular word?

When making a word plural generally you should add an 's' (e.g., play, chair, and balloon become plays, chairs, and balloons). However, if the word in question ends in a consonant+y then the y is eliminated and replaced with ies (party, study, and pantry become parties, studies, and pantries). If the word in question ends in an s, x, ch, or sh then 'es' is added instead of just an 's' (e.g., dress, box, match, and wash become dresses, boxes, matches, and washes).

The same rule applies when adding 's' for the third person (e.g, He dresses himself, she boxes for a living, he matches socks, and she washes clothes).

Is it correct to say it's just she and her brother?

No, the correct phrasing is "It's just her and her brother." In this case, "her" should be used instead of "she" because it is the object of the verb "is."

Is it correct to say the only family she has is she and her brother?

While grammatically correct, it is better to say the only family she has is her brother. I think even better: Her brother is the only family she has. It is redundant to refer to her as a member of her own family.

Is She would have come correct?

It appears the sentence is incomplete or missing context. "She would have come correct" can imply that she would have behaved appropriately or accurately in a given situation.

Which is correct grammar - you were looking good or you was looking good.?

"You were looking good" is the correct grammar. "You" is a second person pronoun that always takes the verb form "were" in past tense, regardless of the situation. "Was" is used with singular subjects, whereas "were" is used with plural subjects.

How do you change active and passive voice?

Starting with a sentence in the active voice, you change the object into the subject. Then you add the verb "to be" in the appropriate tense before the root verb. You can add the former subject after the word "by"

E.g. "John hits Jim" "Jim" is the object, so he is now our subject. We add the present tense of "to be", which in this case is "is" and the root verb "hit" and "by" followed by the former subject "John". The sentence reads "Jim is hit by John."

In the past tense "John hit Jim" becomes "Jim was hit by John". In the future, "John will hit Jim" becomes "Jim will be hit by John."

A more complicated example: "The revolutionary tribunal sentenced the poor man to five years hard labour." becomes "The poor man was sentenced to five years hard labour by the revolutionary tribunal."

Is counterdote a word?

No, "counterdote" is not a recognized word in the English language. It seems to be a combination of "counter" and "antidote," but it is not a standard term.
