Which one of the following statements is true for the base forms of verbs?
None of them are true.





Let's compare with the verb to work (regular verb)





A.Do not use a base form with plural subjects





The girls (plural subject) work hard every day. =%26gt; you must use the base form so the statement is incorrect.





B. Add ';鈥揺d'; to irregular base forms to form the past participle.





Irregular base forms are irregular because you cannot add -ed to them.


E.g. to buy is irregular; I bought this dress yesterday =%26gt; so the statement is incorrect.





C. Add ';to'; to the base form to create an adjective





To make an adjective with the base form, you add -ed or -ing.


To bore = bored, boring


To interest = interested, interesting


So this statement is incorrect as well.





D. When the subject of a sentence is singular, add ';鈥搒'; to the base form.





I (singular subject) work hard every day. = base verb doesn't need s therefore this statement is incorrect.





However, add ';-s'; to the base verb when the subject of a sentence is third person (he/she/it)


He works. She works. It works.





Hope it helps!
