Does it suck or sucks?

Please have look below and tell me, which one is right- 1 or 2?

1. These nights sucks

2. These nights suck

(I am refering to more than one night)

can the verb suck be used in singular when you are using it in a sentence like above (where suck means very bad or disgusting?
For some reason sentence 2 does not "sound right" to me. HOw ever I m not sure! Please tell me what is right

It may not sound right at first, because people often say "That (singular) sucks." But "nights (plural)" will require "suck" as in Sentence 2.

These nights sucks. Sucks is an slang word which means bad/unpleasant etc. If you are going to "These nights suck" suck will become verb, the phrase now says your nights is sucking...
Ex. Dogs suck their mother's nips. Dog sucks his mother's nip.
If you are going to use.it on singular. "This' sucks" or "This is sucks" remember that sucks is slang adjective.
