The correct statement for the base forms of a verb is A. when the subject of a sentence is singular, add "-s" to the base form.
To determine the correct statement, let's analyze each option:
A. when the subject of a sentence is singular, add "-s" to the base form.
This statement is true. When the subject of a sentence is singular (referring to one person or thing), we add "-s" to the base form of a verb. For example, "She runs in the park."
B. Add "to" to the base form to create an adjective.
This statement is not true. Adding "to" to the base form of a verb does not create an adjective. Instead, adding "to" before a verb creates an infinitive verb form. For example, "She likes to swim."
C. Do not use a base form with plural subjects.
This statement is not true. The base form of a verb is used with both singular and plural subjects. For example, "They eat apples" (plural subject) and "He eats an apple" (singular subject).
D. Add "-ed" to irregular base forms to form the past participle.
This statement is not true. Irregular verbs have unique forms for the past participle. They do not always follow the rule of adding "-ed." For example, the irregular verb "go" has a past participle form of "gone."
Therefore, the correct statement for the base forms of a verb is A. when the subject of a sentence is singular, add "-s" to the base form.
