sings well. walk slowly. sleeps soundly. (intransitive verbs) puts a book. buy a new car. threw the bottle. (transitive verbs)

Plural noun takes a plural verb. Eg, They are my cousins. We were classmates. They have a new born baby. We walk to school. They are playing in the field. The boys have taken lunch. They do not want to stand.

2 . Article for singular countable nouns. He cuts a / the tree with a / the saw. A / The tiger has no mane. The tiger is in danger of becoming extinct. 3.
