The difference between “sounds great” and “sound great”
- "Sound great" without the "s" is not commonly used in standard English. The correct form is "sounds great" with the "s" at the end of "sound."
- The reason for this is that when referring to a singular subject or using the third-person singular pronoun (he, she, it), we add an "s" to the verb.
- So, saying "That sounds great" or "It sounds great" is the more common and grammatically correct usage.
