- 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?
<h1>Why I still think using "does" isn't better? </h1>- 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.- 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.
