    Hi,

    Is 'decision' singular or plural?

    Headway.

    Hello,

    Thanks for your early reply.

    Here the word 'decision' is singular.
    Please clarify with some more examples.

    I have lot of confusion regarding these type of sentences. For example

    1. My body temperature has raised
    2. My body temperature have raised

    I do not know which verb (has/have) I should use.

    Hello

    In general, if the noun is singular, it must agree with the verb. In this case, my body temperature = it = 3rd person singular.

    Hello,

    In that case the following sentences would be correct,won't they?
    1. Their decision hasn't changed yet.
    2. My body temperature has raised risen.

    Thanks a lot for helping me.

    Hello,

    The verb that follows has/have must be in the participle (adjective) form. This is true in all cases (I think). The participle of raised is risen. So,
    the correct sentence is:
    2. My body temperature has risen

    Hello exciter2,

    You should always check the words in a dictionary if you are not sure.
    You seem to mix up
    to raise/raised/raised
    to rise/rose/risen

    Hello lucile83,

    Thanks for correcting the sentence

    Hello,
    This depends on the word (decision). Is it a single or a plural?
