Complete the following dialogue by choosing the correct form of the v...
When a subject is singular, the verb that follows is also singular, and when the subject is plural, the verb is also plural. This agreement between the subject and verb is called the subject-verb agreement. In the sentence, "I think the blue ones" is the subject, where 'ones' is the main subject, it's plural, hence we use a plural verb. Singular verbs generally end with s, whereas plural verbs do not end with an s. For example, in The bluejacket goes better with these pants', 'the bluejacket' is singular and so is the verb 'goes' that ends with s. Here the subject is plural, hence 'go' will be used, 'go' is a plural verb, so option A is correct and B is incorrect. Were having gone' is grammatically incorrect, 'having' is a gerund or a participle, and 'gone' is the past participle of the verb 'go', as the phrase is grammatically incorrect, option C is wrong. 'Has gone' is irrelevant here, because 'has' is a singular verb whereas the subject is plural, hence option D is incorrect.
