I think Dave was trying to get you to realise that, since 'voices' is plural, you'd use the form of the verb that a plural subject usually takes.

Click to expand... Really? You know "voices" is plural, therefore it would equate to "they". So you believe that the third person plural form of a verb ends "s" or "es"? Please conjugate the verb "to match" for us here. Last edited: Mar 6, 2012
