Hi all,

I want to know whether the grammer of the sentence written below is correct.

Peter can see "Product Unavailable" on screen, when he click on "Product Link".

In the above sentence should the CLICK be CLICKS, if the noun is singular. I rely on Microsoft Word program for grammer check. If I write CLICK or CLICKS I dont see any error in grammer reported by Microsoft Word. Is it correct to either use Click or Clicks. Please correct me.

Thanks in advance.

In that context, it should read "clicks". You're right, since "he" is singular, the verb has an s at the end.

he clicks, they click.

I would also prefer "on the screen" or "on-screen"

Thank you vorpar. I still wonder why microsoft word is not able to point out these simple mistakes. Should I stop relying on its grammer checking ability. Anyways, thank you again Smile [:)]
