2. Be vigilant for preposition phrases placed between the subject and the verb, and immediately identify the name in the sentence as the object of a preposition: An object of a preposition can NEVER be a subject game. However, if one considers as a couple, a singular verb is used. On the other hand, if we actually refer to the people in the group, we look at the plural substantive. In this case, we use a plural verb. 2. The subordinate clauses that come between the subject and the verb have no influence on their agreement. These nouns seem to be plural (end in s), but they generally refer to only one thing and are therefore generally considered singular. 4. Remember the indeterminate Pronoun EXCEPTIONS, which is dealt with in section 3.5, p.18: Some, Any, None, All and Most. The number of these subjects is influenced by a prepositionphrase between the subject and the verb. Although you are probably already familiar with the basic thematic-verbal agreements, this chapter begins with a quick review of the basic agreement rules.

In this case, we apply the same rule as for group members when we look at each member of the group (see section 3.3): We use a pluralistic verb. Two nouns or separate pronouns, by … Or not… and don`t take a singular verb. 7. The verb is singular when the two subjects separated by “and” refer to the same person or the same thing as a whole. SUBJECT-VERBE RULE #2 Two or more singular subjects that are linked by or (or not) as a single compound subject and therefore use a single verb to accept. What form of verb to use in this case? Should the verb be singular to accept in one word? Or should the verb be plural to accept the other? There are a few occasions when we should use plurals.

However, there are exceptions to the above rules. If we refer to the group as a whole and therefore to a unity, we consider the nominus singular. In this case, we use a singular verb. 10. The only time the object of the preposition decides pluralistic or singular verbs is when nomic and pronoun themes such as “some,” “mi,” “mi,” “none,” “no” or “all” are followed by prepositionphrase.
