OpenStudy (tjbrew):
So the subject is "I" correct? And it is singular, so the verb has to be singular as well...any ideas?
eclipsedstar (eclipsedstar):
Any ideas so far?
OpenStudy (bohotness):
d
eclipsedstar (eclipsedstar):

eclipsedstar (eclipsedstar):
Close. ;)
OpenStudy (tjbrew):
I enjoy (1st person sing.), but a person enjoys (3rd person sing.).
OpenStudy (tjbrew):
so enjoys is for 3rd person singular...but we need first person singular to go with "I".
OpenStudy (tjbrew):

thank you :D
OpenStudy (tjbrew):
"I" is first person singular. So you MUST use "enjoy" because that goes with first person singular subjects. If it was a third person singular subject like "he" then you would have had to use "enjoys" because that goes with third person singular subjects.
