That shop carries beautiful fabrics.

Explanation:

The (simple) present tense is used to describe general truths, unchanging or repeated situations or habits. Some of the rules we have to bare in mind when using the present tense is that in the third person singular -he/she/it- the verb must always end in -s. Another rule is that those verbs ending in -y change to -ies in the present tense. This is the case of the example provided in the question, where carry turns into carries.

overnment is strong when they have the ability to persuade those they govern to believe government has enough power to force them or should be forcing them to do government’s will.

when enough of the citizenry do not believe government can force them or should force them to do its bidding, government has lost or will lose its strength and power to coerce.

when enough of the citizenry do believe government can force or should force them to do its bidding, they become passive at the least or actively pro-government and repeat government’s own rhetoric to pass on what they have been persuaded by government’s propaganda.

a true majority isn’t always needed to govern or to stop government. many times all that is needed is a strong minority. if a determined 30% of the population rises up against government in a concerted effort to bring it down, this size minority usually will succeed as long as those actively opposing the minority are less in force than the minority. so if 41% of the population sits at home watching tv rooting for one side or the other, they don’t matter. it’s the active parties who make a difference.
