When do predicate verbs use single or three forms?

Whether the predicate verb uses "monosyllabic and trisyllabic" mainly depends on the subject of the sentence!

So how to judge whether the subject is "Shansan"? Let's distinguish between singular and plural first. If it is singular, such as Lucy, ask yourself a few questions: 1. Is this (Lucy here) me? Answer: No.2. Is this (Lucy is here) "you"? Answer: No, at this time we can know that Lucy is "Shanshan". When Lucy is the subject, the predicate verb will be in the form of "Shansan". Lucy is very popular with us.

There is also an uncountable noun as the subject, which can also be regarded as "single three"
