    This document discusses the proper use of singular and plural forms of the word "business" in different contexts. While the phrase "your business are developing" is incorrect, "your business is developing" is the proper singular form to use. Determiners like "this", "these", "that", and "those" should agree in number with the noun they refer to for correct grammar.
