Anonymous  +  696435 Fri, 10 Apr 09 07:42 PM Hi, when I say the boy sets the table. this is singular noun, so it's sets (with an -s) however, when i say I set the table, it's also singular, but it's set (without the -s) ??? and does anyone know which verbs to use when the noun is a name? or he/she? it seems like you can use both. thanks Anonymous Nouns, Singular Nouns, Singular
