It can also be written as 'HUMOUR' 
'HUMOUR' is the British spelling of 'HUMOR' 

As a verb it means to comply with someone's demand to make him happy.

As a noun it means a quality of a person to find amusement in anything.



GRAMMAR TIP- 

PAST PERFECT 
Form- subject+ had + verb (past participle/V3)


When we have two actions in the past we use past perfect tense to clearly show which action happen first.
Example- 
1. When reached the station, the train had left.
means we reached the station after the train had left.

2. I was sick because I had eaten stale rotis the previous night.
So, in the above sentence-- there are two actions
