question

Look at the subject in bold. Does it name one person or more than one person?

Ted and I know the secret number.

one

more than one

key idea

Singular subjects name only one person, animal, place, or thing. When a subject is singular, use a singular verb. Singular verbs end in -s or -es.

Sarah visits her grandmother.

My cat washes her paws.

Plural subjects name more than one person, animal, place, or thing. When a subject is plural, use a plural verb. Plural verbs usually do not end in -s or -es.

Kyle and Jessie walk home.

The flowers grow in the garden.

solution

The subject Ted and I names more than one person, so it is a plural subject. It goes with the verb know, which does not end in -s or -es.

What do Ted and I do? We know the secret number.
