 1) It makes my  hair look  presentable and neater. I thought that hair is  plural  so i never add a &amp;quot;S&amp;quot; behind the &amp;quot;look&amp;quot;. 
 2) It makes my son think that he is rich. Why is it that my son is 1 person so shouldn&amp;#39;t we use  thinks  instead?  It makes my son thinks that he is rich.  
  
 Question: When would i use  infinitive  and when i would use  plural and singular ? 
 Your assumptions are wrong. hair is singular: 
  
 Your hair look s neat. Your hair seem s very presentable. My hair get s dirty easily.

  Wild animals and plants are still not protected by humans. What are the causes and what are your solutions?  
    
  Human beings are progressing at an amazing rate on various realms. However, there are still many kinds of wild lives surviving difficultly or even extinguishing every year. Biologists are worried about this phenomenon quite much. It is essential for us to analyse the reasons of this terrible problem and then pinpoint some effective remedies.

Thank you. 
 Good god! I now saw an American lady coming from the crowd to our rescue. Introducing herself as Dorothea Lessing, she said she knew what we were searching for, and prodded us to ‘go watch the fireworks’. Now, lit by the fireworks, the sky looked more ominous and showed a pot-pourri of colors. Presently, sparks of light traveled across the sky and transformed into shapes of lions, tigers, elephants and deer. We then, saw a fully blossomed flower with bees swarming it. There were shadows of men and women holding hands, and an American flag was found fluttering. Crowds screamed with joy and excitement. We stood mesmerized unable to take our eyes from the shining sky.</description></item><item><title>Re: Independance Day</title><link>http://www.englishforums.com/English/IndependanceDay/ldzbg/post.htm#935292</link><pubDate>Fri, 09 Oct 2009 14:30:19 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="true">946f00bb-57d3-4b7b-a9a2-059b5341af52:935292</guid><dc:creator>mister micawber</dc:creator><description>It was the 4th of July, 2006; America was celebrating her Independence Day .
