PROBLEM

Given a number of sentence/s, following the SUBJECT VERB AGREEMENT in the problem,
correct the given sentences using given instruction and print out the corrected
sentence.

EXPLANATION

Given a string, as we have only four subjects, check if the first word is ‘He’ or
‘She’ or not. If not then print the result as it is. If not then check for correct
subject-verb agreement according to the instruction given in the question, add necessary
suffixes and print the result.

Example Text Case
Input:
2
I play
He sing

Output:
I play
He sings

Note: First sentence is already correct so same is printed out.
The second sentence is corrected by adding ‘s’ in sing and printed.

SOLUTION :

Setter's Solution 
#include <iostream>
#include <string>
using namespace std;
 
int main(){
    int t,i;
    string s,v;
    cin>>t;
    for(i=0;i<t;i++){
        cin>>s>>v;
        if(s=="He"||s=="She"){
            if(v[v.length()-1]=='o'){
                v= v+"es";
            }
            else if(v[v.length()-1]=='y'&&v[v.length()-2]!='a'&&v[v.length()-2]!='e'&&v[v.length()-2]!='i'
            &&v[v.length()-2]!='o'&&v[v.length()-2]!='u'){
                v= v.replace(v.length()-1, 3, "ies");
            }
            else if(v[v.length()-1]=='h'&&(v[v.length()-2]!='c'||v[v.length()-2]!='s')){
                v= v+"es";
            }
            else{
                v=v+'s';
            }
            cout<<s<<" "<<v<<endl;
        }
        else{
            cout<<s<<" "<<v<<endl;
        }
    }
}
