The fourth rule states that if a subject consists of two or more nouns connected by “and, the verb to be added must be in the plural. But if two of them combine to form a noun composed of a thing, then the verb given together remains singular. Question 8. Fill in the gaps with the correct verb form: (a) The majority of applicants ….. Daughter. b) Neither of these two boys ………….. well rated. c) A pair of shoes ………………….. were stolen. d) The quality of these apples ………….. Not good. e) A black and white cow ……………..
Outdoor grazing. f) A black cow and a white cow ……….. Outdoor grazing. Answer: (a) are (b) a (c) a (d) is (e) is (f) The sixth rule states that words like any, each, either, neither and “many a” are followed by a singular verb. 20. A collective name such as jury, committee, family, etc. assumes a singular verb if it is considered a unit. But when they are considered individuals, they take a plural verb: the ninth rule of the subject`s agreement states that if distances, weights, or sets represent a single unit or fixed quantity, they are treated as a singular, and the added verb is also singular. Sentence #2 is wrong because the verb “were” incorrectly matches the noun “apples” nearby.
This is a mistake of proximity. Section 3. The verb in a sentence or, either/or, or neither/yet is in agreement with the noun or pronoun closest to it. Article 7. Use a singular verb with distances, periods, sums of money, etc. if you are considered a unit. One thing that confuses writers is a long and complicated subject. The author gets lost in it and forgets which noun is actually the head of the subject sentence, and instead lets the verb correspond to the nearest noun: rule 5a. Sometimes the subject is separated from the verb by words such as with, as well as no, etc. These words and phrases are not part of the topic.
Ignore them and use a singular verb if the subject is singular. This rule states that the word “none” takes a verb according to the meaning of the sentence. It can be singular or plural, depending on the sentence. Question 5. Mohan and Shyam (a) ……………….. my best friends. You (b) always (b) …………………….. me in my work. None of them (c) ….. Football. I (d) …….. never (e) …..
they are wasting their time. Neither Mohan nor Shyam (f) ………….. lazy. Each of them (g) ….. very active. All the students in my class (h) ………….. they. Answer: (a) are (b) Help (c) Play (d) have (e) seen (f) is (h) as 10.
Plural nouns: The title of a book, the name of a house or hotel in the plural adopts a singular verb: The third-person form of the singular of verbs in the present simple is formed by adding “s/es” to the root form of the third person plural. We can use this rule in the format below. Article 6. In sentences that begin with here or there, the real subject follows the verb. 7. Introduction “there”: The verb must correspond to the actual subject that follows the introduction. If the subject is singular, then a singular verb follows. If the real subject is plural, then “there” is followed by a plural verb: but if these nouns are used without “a pair of”, they take a plural verb: choose the correct form of the verb from the given options: Shouldn`t Joe be followed by something, weren`t they, since Joe is singular? But Joe isn`t really there, so let`s say who wasn`t. The sentence demonstrates the subjunctive mood used to express hypothetical, useless, imaginary, or factually contradictory things.
The subjunctive connects singular subjects to what we generally consider plural verbs. This rule can lead to bumps in the road. For example, if I am one of two (or more) subjects, it could lead to this strange sentence: 9. Distances, weights, etc.: For distances, weight, size or sums of money, we use a singular verb, even if the subject is plural: in one year, $5 million was spent on the construction of a new factory, and more than millions were spent on training future factory workers. (“$5 million” is a certain amount. Therefore, the verb is singular.) Every year, funds are made available to support medical research. (“Fund” is a vague term rather than a certain amount. Therefore, the verb is plural.) This rule states that sentences like many, very many, many, some of them are considered singular if they refer to a set or set, but are considered plural if they refer to the number, so the verb to be added is also chosen accordingly. When we construct a sentence, the verb and subject must match in number and person. So if the subject is singular number, first person, verb must be singular number.
If the subject has a plural number, third person, the verb must be plural number. Question 7. Fill in the blanks with the correct form of the verb: (a) It is Ram who ….. . .
