grammar help?

“give” is used with first and second singular or plural nouns or pronouns as well as third person plural (I give, you give, we give, you give, they give)

“gives” is used with third person singular ( he gives, she gives, it gives) You would also use this form after third person nouns and proper nouns.

It depends on the subject.

I, you, we, they = give

he, she, it = gives

Nothing to do with the nouns, either singular or plural.

For example:

She gives a good massage.

They give good service at that restaurant.

singular noun: usually w/out ‘s’

singular verb: usually w/ ‘s’

plural noun: usually w/ ‘s’

plural verb: usually w/out ‘s’

its the opposite!
