when a verb group changes according to whether its subject is singular or plural. In English, this affects only the simple present, which adds an 's' to the infinitive in the third person singular: 'I want' but 'she wants'. The verbs 'be', 'have', and 'do' are irregular: 'I am', 'you are', 'she is'; 'I have', 'she has'; and 'I do', 'she does'. In the sentences 'A thorough search was carried out', 'It doesn't matter', and 'The course has given me more confidence', the verb groups 'was carried out', 'doesn't matter', and 'has given' all agree with their subjects.
