Which phrase is correct? (Is using plural form for singular object make sense?) (Does using plural form for singular object make sense?)
Replying to the last edit (#4)... Since it language related site hence I am asking the question by creating new Q rather than commenting there. The earlier title was
Is using plural form for singular object make sense?
Moshi changed to
Does using plural form for singular object make sense?
I can see that using has "ing" as prefix of use which represent continuous (but it's not representing continuous here). I know that "Does" is used for a verb which verb is just in present rather than continuous or past or past perfect. If I think of the phrase mentally then I can see that "Is" is looking better than "Does". But whenever speaking both of them then it's like both are correct. But what does grammar say?
Why I still think using "does" isn't better? not better information
I am going to use "it" (i know that "it" isn’t better but "does" is used for third person hence i chose it) as for that phrase.
Does [it] using plural form for singular object make sense?
Is [it] using plural form for singular object make sense?
Which one is correct? Of course second one. Cause, "does" isn’t well fitted for any continuous verb.
Running is too hard.
Running too hard. (incorrect phrase)
Both of them are correct but both give different meaning. 2nd one is representing [someone] is running too hard. While 1st one represents It's too hard to run. So i can use "does" and "is" (both). But they will give different meaning.
For my case, "does" isn’t totally making sense.
Note : i had edited in mobile so i am not sure if I mistype something. For that reason, Sorry! And i don’t have time to re-read these texts also.
