Third-person singular simple present indicative form of announce
"The manager announces that the office will be closed for the holiday weekend."
In plain English: To announce something means to tell people about it officially or publicly.
"The manager announces that the store will be closed early tonight."
Usage: Use announces when a third-person singular subject, such as he, she, it, or a specific name, formally declares news to the public or an audience. This form correctly matches subjects like "The CEO announces" or "She announces" in present tense sentences.
Derived from the Latin annuntiare, meaning to make known, this verb form comes from the past participle stem of that root combined with the English suffix -es. It originally referred to the act of declaring or proclaiming information publicly.
