- # "Does using plural form for singular object make sense?" is correct.
- "Do" or "Does" is used at the beginning of an affirmative sentence to form a simple present tense question. "Does" is the third person form of "do".
- e.g. "[It] makes sense." becomes "Does [it] make sense?"
- You would use "do" for direct subjects, such as I, you, we or they. You use "does" for indirect subjects, such as he, she, it or that.
- For example:
- | Do/Does | Subject | Verb | Predicate |
- | - | - | - | - |
- | Do | I | make | sense? |
- | Do | you | understand | me? |
- | Does | this | help | you? |
- | Does | it | make | sense? |
- "Is" can be used to form a present tense question about a single or uncountable noun, where you would use "are" for a plural noun. Or to make an affirmative statement about something.
- For example:
- **Questions**
- | Is/Are | Subject(s) | Object(s) |
- | - | - | - |
- | Is | This | a fun grammar fact? |
- | Is | the answer| interesting? |
- | Are | questions | useful learning tools. |
- | Are | There | different ways to form a sentence? |
- | Is | it | making sense? |
- **Statements**
- | Subject | Is/Are | Object |

- | This | is | a fun grammar fact. |
- | The answer | is | interesting. |
- | Questions | are | useful learning tools. |
