[Grammar] verb-subject

[bhagona]

Help me please.....

a).I take photographs.
b).He takes photograph.

in sentence a it's very clear that, i take many phtographs,but in sentence b how can we know if he takes just one or many photographs. As we cant
add "s" when a plural verb is already there in a sentence.

I hope somone understands what i want to ask.

First, "takes" is not a plural form of the verb "take".
Second, for many photographs in your example it would be, "He takes photographs" OR "He takes many photographs".

Help me please.....

a).I take photographs. (two or more) OK
b).He takes photograph. (he takes a photograph -just one)

in sentence a it's very clear that, i take many photographs,but in sentence b how can we know if he takes just one or many photographs. As we cant
add "s" when a plural verb is already there in a sentence.

I hope someone understands what i want to ask.

I'm trying. My corrections are in brackets. If I follow you right, the verb 'takes' isn't plural but the third person of singular. Am I mistaken?

Yes, "he takes" is third person singular.

I think the others have answered your question. Here's one for you:
Why do you think we can't use a plural after certain verbs?
