Explanation:

This can be explained with the subject-verb agreement. If the subject is singular, then the verb must also be singular. If the subject is plural then a plural verb must also be used. The subject and verb must match or agree. Using the example, Mary (like / likes) chocolate, Mary would be the subject as the verb is connected to her. Chocolate can't be the subject as the chocolate is not liking, but Mary likes the chocolate.
