Hi Coconut
| Quote: |
| what is the meaning of this sentence (third person singular)? |
I = first person singular you = second person singular and plural he = third person singular she = third person singular it = third person singular we = first person plural they = third person plural
The following words are also examples "third person singular": - sentence, mountain, Mr. Smith, coconut, tree, pencil, noun, air
In the simple present tense, when the subject of a sentence is third person singular, the form of the verb must also be the third person singular form.
| Quote: |
| Do you mean the third form listed (past participle)? |
Yes, the "past participle" is sometimes also called "the third form" of the verb. For example:
write/wrote/written
write = the base form of the verb written = the past participle (sometimes also called "the third form") . |

Present indefinite (passive voice)
The book is ready by me He is given a prize. Books are bought by us Houses are built. I am beaten by him I am cheated. A pen is given to him He is given a pen He is not punished by the headmaster. We are not granted our rights. Are the books sold? Is the office decorated? Why is the children beaten? Where are the clothes washed? By whom the child is brought up. By whom the plants are planted.
