Anamika Academy English 9979 9979 45
Being able to find the right subject and verb will help you correct errors of subject-verb
agreement.
Basic Rule. A singular subject (she, Bill, car) takes a singular verb (is, goes, shines),
whereas a plural subject takes a plural verb.
Example: The list of items is/are on the desk.
If you know that list is the subject, then you will choose is for the verb.
Rule 1. A subject will come before a phrase beginning with of. This is a key rule for
understanding subjects. The word of is the culprit in many, perhaps most, subject-verb
mistakes.
Incorrect: A bouquet of yellow roses lend color and fragrance to the room.
Correct: A bouquet of yellow roses lends . . . (bouquet lends, not roses lend)
Rule 2. Two singular subjects connected by or, either/or, or neither/nor require a
singular verb.
Examples:
My aunt or my uncle is arriving by train today.
Neither Juan nor Carmen is available.
Either Kiana or Casey is helping today with stage decorations.
Rule 3. The verb in an or, either/or, or neither/nor sentence agrees with the noun or
pronoun closest to it.
Examples:
Neither the plates nor the serving bowl goes on that shelf.
Neither the serving bowl nor the plates go on that shelf.
This rule can lead to bumps in the road. For example, if I is one of two (or more)
subjects, it could lead to this odd sentence:
Awkward: Neither she, my friends, nor I am going to the festival.
Better:
Neither she, I, nor my friends are going to the festival.
Rule 4. As a general rule, use a plural verb with two or more subjects when they are
connected by and.
Example: A car and a bike are my means of transportation.
Rule 5. Sometimes the subject is separated from the verb by such words as along with,
as well as, besides, not, etc. These words and phrases are not part of the subject. Ignore
them and use a singular verb when the subject is singular.
Examples:
The politician, along with the newsmen, is expected shortly.
Excitement, as well as nervousness, is the cause of her shaking.
Rule 6. With words that indicate portions—percent, fraction, majority, some, all, etc.—
Rule 1 given earlier is reversed, and we are guided by the noun after of. If the noun
after of is singular, use a singular verb. If it is plural, use a plural verb.
21
Anamika Academy English 9979 9979 45
Example:
Fifty percent of the pie has disappeared.
Fifty percent of the pies have disappeared.
A third of the city is unemployed.
A third of the people are unemployed.
All of the pie is gone.
All of the pies are gone.
Some of the pie is missing.
Some of the pies are missing.
Rule 7. In sentences beginning with here or there, the true subject follows the verb.
Examples:
There are four hurdles to jump.
There is a high hurdle to jump.
Here are the keys.
Rule 8. Use a singular verb with distances, periods of time, sums of money, etc., when
considered as a unit.
Examples:
Three miles is too far to walk.
Five years is the maximum sentence for that offense.
Ten dollars is a high price to pay.
BUT
Ten dollars (i.e., dollar bills) were scattered on the floor.
Rule 9. Some collective nouns, such as family, couple, staff, audience, etc., may take
either a singular or a plural verb, depending on their use in the sentence.
Examples:
The staff is in a meeting.
Staff is acting as a unit.
The couple disagree about disciplining their child.
The couple refers to two people who are acting as individuals.
Rule 10. The word were replaces was in sentences that express a wish or are contrary
to fact:
Example: If Joe were here, you'd be sorry.
Either……. or and neither ………. nor
1.Either / or – બે માંથી એકની પસંદગી કરવાની હોય યારે
We can either eat now or after the show - it's up to you.
2. Neither / nor – બે માંથી કોઇ ન હં (નકારા મક)
Neither my mother nor my father went to university.
Singular or plural
either/or અને neither/nor, વાપરતી વખતે આટલાં િનયમોનું યાન રાખવું:
1. If both elements are singular, then the verb is singular too.
Either the father or the mother has to attend the meeting. (father and mother are
singular; so the verb has is singular too)
22
Anamika Academy English 9979 9979 45
Neither Leila nor Nancy is going to write the report. (Leila and Nancy are
singular; so the verb is is singular too)
2. However, if one of the elements is plural, then use a plural verb.
Either Sue or the girls are going to prepare dinner tonight. (the girls is plural; so
the verb are is plural too)
Neither the teacher nor the students were in the classroom this morning. (the
students is plural; so the verb were is plural too)

Examples:

How many notes do you have? - I don't have many left.
In informal English these questions are often answered with a lot of/lots of. There is no
much difference between the two phrases.
Note: We use much or many after as, so and too. It is wrong to use a lot of/lots with
these words. (We have so a lot of homework to do.)
We have so much homework to do.
We have too much homework to do.
FORના ઉપયોગો:
We use For when we measure the duration – when we say how long something lasts.
For + a period of time
To measure a period of time up to the present, we use the present perfect tense and not
the present tense.
I have known her for a long time. (Correct)
I know her for a long time. (Incorrect)
I have lived here for ten years. (Correct)
I live here for ten years. (Incorrect)
The present tense with For refers to a period of time that extends into the future.
How long are you here for? (Until when)
35
Anamika Academy English 9979 9979 45
While we can use For in the simple past tense we can't use Since in the
simple past tense. Since can only be used in the perfect tense.
Correct Incorrect
