On the ACT, you can find a similar sentence. Many students mistakenly think that the material is a “collaborator” because it is the noun closest to the verb. While the “collaborator” is plural, the real subject is singular “boss.” If you correctly identify the pattern, you can avoid being deceived by the interruption sentence. The original word choice is the only pair of noun verbs that correctly link the singular “type” to the stressed part. Remember: all names associated with a single name or clause must correspond, either singular or plural. In the ACT, preposition phrases are usually inserted between subjects and verbs to divert attention from errors in the subject-verb chord. Here is an example of a misspelled sentence that used a prepositional sentence as a sentence of interruption: so far, we have considered topics that can create confusion of the subject-verb chord: composite subjects, group substitutation subjects, the plural form of singular meaning, and unspecified topics. The phrase “someone who describes” is the only one that maintains the right subject-verb agreement and also corresponds to the rest of the sentence. What`s this all about? Justin. What for? Well, it was the hero who made the salute. Composite nouns can act as a composite subject. In some cases, a composite theme poses particular problems for the subject-verb agreement rule (s, -s).

Let`s first cross the preposition expressions. The equipment for both types of kayak is similar. We still have “The equipment is similar.” Even if the answer is obvious at this point, let`s move on to the remaining stage. The theme is “equipment,” which is unique. The verb is “are,” which is plural; Therefore, there is an error in the subject-verb agreement and the correct answer is G. Based on the context of the passage, the verb should be in the current form. 3. Group substitutions can be administered to plural forms to mean two or more units and thus take a plural verb. A clause that begins with whom, the one or the others, and the coming between the subject and the verb, can cause insequements.

Although you are probably already familiar with the basic thematic-verbal agreements, this chapter begins with a quick review of the basic agreement rules. 2. If the different parts of the compound subject are by or even related, use the verb form (singular or plural) that corresponds to the subject close to the verb.
