Don't get confuse with the use of your verb. If you use singular subject, then use singular verb, same with plural subjects. This is what we call Subject-Verb Agreement.

In your sentences, all subjects per sentence are singular, so your verb must be singular also. Use takes over, comes by and drops by.
