Technically, verbs aren't singular or plural. Some people call verbs singular or plural because verbs change according to the number of the subject. "Goes" is the third person singular conjugation of the verb "go" (he/she/it goes). When the subject is changed to the third person plural, they, the verb changes to "go".

Conjugation of "go" in the present simple:

  • I go (first person singular)
  • We go (first person plural)
  • You go (second person singular and plural)
  • He/she/it goes (third person singular)
  • They go (third person plural)

I hope this made sense!

To change a singular word to plural, add "s" to most nouns (e.g. book → books) or "es" for nouns ending in -s, -ss, -sh, -ch, -x (e.g. box → boxes). Some words may have irregular plural forms (e.g. child → children, person → people) and others remain the same in both singular and plural form (e.g. sheep, deer).

How can you decide whether the verb is singular or plural?

The verb should agree with the subject of the sentence. If the subject is singular, the verb should be singular. If the subject is plural, the verb should be plural. Pay attention to the number of the subject (one person/thing or more than one person/thing) to determine the correct form of the verb.
