Can someone explain 12th, If we use "s" with fruit, it will give a sense of result of hard work. cant we just use fruit instead of fruits?
One of his son has gone to Dubai
Please answer me
One of his sons has gone to Dubai.
‘Son’ is singular whereas ‘sons’ word shows pural noun
When we take ‘one of…’ then we take always plural form.
One of ke baad plural noun ayega. We use singular form of verb as per ‘one’.
We use plural noun+singular verb with one of.
Example -One of my books is missing.
One of takes singular verb and singular noun brother..
one of his sons has gone to dubai
