Can someone please explain the different between
The results vs the result
One with “s”
The only difference is in the number of results.
results - plural. There is more than one result under discussion.
result - singular. There is only one result under discussion.
How about
The results show vs the result show
One without 'S"
These two are correct:
The results show… (plural noun, 3rd person plural verb)
The result shows… (singular noun, 3rd person singular verb)
‘The result show’ is incorrect, unless it is the title of a television/radio show.
Beeee,
I am not very clear of your explainations, please give me a couple of examples.
I’m having prolem using “s”, noun-verb agreement or others. In my writing either “s” is miising " or not suppose to be there.
Many thanks,
jimic
‘The results show’ is the same structure as ‘the cats sing’ (plural nouns)
compared to
‘The result shows’ / ‘the cat sings’. (singular nouns)
Compare these:
singular - ‘s’ added to the verb.
The lady sings a song
He walks down the road.
She sits on a bench.
The man kicks the ball.
plural - no ‘s’ added to the verb.
The ladies sing a song.
They walk down the road.
They sit on a bench.
The men kick the ball.
