Yah.
As stated above I'm really blur with my grammar.
May I ask a question?
Let say for this sentence.
Should it be.
If I encounter any problem?
or
If I encounters any problem?
I supposed I is a singular.
So isit If I encounters any problem?

" I " is an exception. Just like you cannot have "You has".
"If I encounter" is correct. Status Update: I've got 99 problems but your bitching ain't one. 06-10-2010, 09:57 PM

"I" is special.
You say, I am, I have, etc.
So, the correct answer is "If I encounter any problems?"
Hope I have helped you in your grammar. (: | |

Since there's this thread, I have a question to ask too ^_^
Which is correct?
"What does your signature says about you?" or "What does your signature say about you?"
I always see this advertisement by Visa and they are using the latter sentence, but to me, I feel that "signature" is singular, so shouldn't it be "What does your signature says about you?"
Please correct me if I'm wrong, just would like to double confirm

any that follows after will/ would/ shall/ should/ do/ did/ does/ can/ could must/ will end with present tense and singular.
or could anyone help me rephrase it if I phrase it wrongly. Status Update: .................... 06-07-2010, 12:13 AM

Thanks!
Because "your signature", the object should be the signature and since it's only 1 signature?
I'm so confused by english :'(

In this case, the singular is already expressed in 'DOES'.
Its just like, 'He does not want to study' ( correct )
versus 'He does not wants to study' (wrong) 
Plural: 'They do come here often' (correct)
Plural: 'They do comes here often' (wrong!)
Further, 'You do understand that, right?' (correct)
versus ' You do understands that, right?' (definitely wrong)
and " I do hate the evil stepmother' (correct)
versus "I do hates the evil stepmother" (wrong) ethyne added 7 Minutes and 24 Seconds later... Quote:
