Question

Select the most appropriate option to substitute the highlighted segment in the given sentence. If there is no need to substitute it, select ‘No substitution’.
If you tries to dictate your terms, I don’t think we can work together.

A.

have try

B.

No substitution

C.

try

D.

were tried

Correct option is C

The correct substitution of the highlighted words is (c) try.
Explanation: The subject “you” is second person and always uses the base form of the verb without “-s” in the present simple tense.
Incorrect: “you tries”
Correct: “you try”
Grammatical rule used:
· Present simple tense: subject + base verb
· Only third-person singular (he, she, it) takes “-s” or “-es” with the verb.
· Example:
· • He tries to win.
· • You try to win.
Information Booster: Auxiliary verbs like “do/does” also follow the same subject-verb agreement in questions and negatives.
