supervises
- 1Third-person singular simple present of supervise.
The head nurse supervises every patient transfer between wards.
A senior editor supervises the team that fact-checks each article.
Note
The form a single subject takes in the present: the head nurse, she, the committee supervises; every other person keeps the bare supervise. Because the verb is transitive, it normally needs an object right after it (supervises the staff, supervises a project) rather than standing alone. An older use, now obsolete, meant to read over or peruse, so in older writing someone who supervises a letter is reading it, not managing it.
