✔ 最佳答案
1.are – People is uncountable but we always use a plural verb form, such as are, were, work (not works) all walks of life - different kinds of people in a society
2.stand - “students” is plural so we do not add “s” after “stand”
3.take - “armed services” is plural so we do not add s
4.shakes - “He” is a third person singular pronoun so we add s after shake
5.are making – “Now” is telling us something is happening, so we use continuous tense, that is “are making”. We use “are” because “the couple” means 2 persons, normally husband and wife, or boy with girl.
6.are waiting – members is plural so we use “are”.
7.announce – they is plural so we do not add s
8.weaves – motorcade is singular so we add s
9.steps – prime minister is a third person singular so we add s
10.fire – arm forces is plural so we do not add s. Here fire is a verb.
