🔒 Closed Which is correct: Fish were swimming in the water or Fish was swimming in the water?

[plhbg1]

“Fish were swimming in the water” is correct grammar.
If only one fish was in the water, you would say “A fish was swimming in the water.”

Why?

Because the word “fish” is both singular and plural.
You can use it for only one fish and for many fish of the same species.
