Hello,

Thanks for your early reply.

Here the word 'decision' is singular.
Please clarify with some more examples.

I have lot of confusion regarding these type of sentences. For example

1. My body temperature has raised
2. My body temperature have raised

I do not know which verb (has/have) I should use.

Hello

In general, if the noun is singular, it must agree with the verb. In this case, my body temperature = it = 3rd person singular.

Hello,

In that case the following sentences would be correct,won't they?
1. Their decision hasn't changed yet.
2. My body temperature has raised risen.

Thanks a lot for helping me.

Hello,

The verb that follows has/have must be in the participle (adjective) form. This is true in all cases (I think). The participle of raised is risen. So,
the correct sentence is:
2. My body temperature has risen

Hello exciter2,

You should always check the words in a dictionary if you are not sure.
You seem to mix up
to raise/raised/raised
to rise/rose/risen

Hello,
This depends on the word (decision). Is it a single or a plural?
