There are many people mentored by John. I want to say "John mentors many people", but the word "mentors" gets flagged by MS Word. I can't find an example of this form of mentor. I think I'll go ahead and ignore the flag. Comments?

    "I can't find an example of this form of mentor." What, do you mean the verb form? It should be in pretty much every dictionary. – Laurel Jan 04 '24 at 01:28

    We can't answer the question of why Microsoft Word is wrong. – alphabet Jan 04 '24 at 02:06
  • Thanks for your prompt response. I see now that https://conjugator.reverso.net/conjugation-english-verb-mentor.html has "he/she/it mentors". – dcromley Jan 04 '24 at 02:07

  • Somebody answered and comments were made and he commented that mentors was plural. I told him that in this usage, mentors is indicative-present-third person-singular-masculine (verb). See https://conjugator.reverso.net/conjugation-english-verb-mentor.html. He deleted his answer. It seems this site is great fun. – dcromley Jan 07 '24 at 23:41
