    Lightbulb Third person singular

    Is it grammatically correct to add "s" to the verb "adorn" here:

    Like a rose I see you, adorns my life.... ?

    That sentence makes no sense with or without the -s ending. It might be possible without the comma - Like a rose I see adorn my life, but we need more context to be sure.
    Context is always important; labelling is rarely important.

    Still not good. Please give more context.
