Great question! The choice between "depend" and "depends" depends on the subject of the sentence. When the subject is singular, like "he," "she," or "it," we use "depends." For example, you would say, "It depends on the weather."
On the other hand, when the subject is plural, like "they" or "we," we use "depend." For instance, you would say, "They depend on each other for support."
It's important to pay attention to the subject of your sentence to ensure you're using the correct form. Remember, with singular subjects, use "depends," and for plural subjects, use "depend."
Understanding subject-verb agreement is crucial in constructing grammatically correct sentences. The verb form should match the number of the subject. Just like a pair of puzzle pieces should fit together perfectly, the verb and subject need to agree harmoniously to create a coherent sentence.
Keep practicing and pay attention to subject-verb agreement to improve your fluency and accuracy in English. Do you have any more language questions?
