Question 7 options:
plural

singular
In the sentence "I am trying to buy that dog," the subject "I" and the verb "am trying" are both singular.
To determine whether the subject and verb in the given sentence are singular or plural, we need to identify the subject and corresponding verb. In this case, the subject is "I" and the verb is "am trying."
The subject "I" is a singular pronoun, referring to the person speaking. The verb "am trying" is also singular, as it agrees with the subject "I." Therefore, both the subject and verb in the given sentence are singular.
So, the correct answer to the question is "singular."
