Writing Tip #1
Subjects and verbs must AGREE with one another
in number (singular or plural). Thus, if a subject is
singular, its verb must also be singular; if a subject is
plural, its verb must also be plural.
In present tenses, nouns and verbs form plurals in
opposite ways:
Nouns ADD an s to the singular form,
BUT
Verbs REMOVE an s from the singular form.

Walt Whitmans I Hear America Singing

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6eNQqCmXLxA
I hear America singing, the varied carols I hear;
Those of mechanics-each one singing his, as it should be, blithe and
strong;
The carpenter singing his, as he measures his plank or beam,
The mason singing his, as he makes ready for work, or leaves off work;
The boatman singing what belongs to him in his boat-the deckhand
singing on the steamboat deck;
The shoemaker singing as he sits on his bench-the hatter singing as he
stands;
The wood-cutters song-the ploughboys, on his way in the morning, or at
noon intermission, or at sundown;
The delicious singing of the mother-or the young wife at work-or of the
girl sewing or washing-Each singing what belongs to him or her and to
none else;
The day what belongs to the day-At night the party of young fellows,
robust, friendly,
Singing, with open mouths, their strong melodious songs.
