Select the correct verb for each of the following sentences.
The following situations can cause confusion about subject-verb agreement. Study each one, and then answer the questions that follow. Situation 1: Having two or more nouns that seem to be the subject. Example: One of the people in the crowd (were/was) taking photos of the riot. Tip: Cross out prepositional phrases (“of the people” and “in the crowd”) to find the actual subject (“one”), and then you can select the correct verb: was. Situation 2: When using either/or or neither/nor Example: Either Jenna or her teammates (was/were) responsible. Tip: Make sure the verb agrees with the noun closest to it. The correct verb is were. Situation 3: Sentences that start with there Example: There (was/were) a coach and coaching assistants staying in the hotel. Tip: Look at the subject and determine if it compound or singular in sentences that start with there. Select the noun that fits. In this case, the subject is compound, so the noun is were. Situation 4: Recognize the singular subjects one, everyone, anyone, anybody, everybody, none, and so on. Example: Everyone browsing through the books (seem/seems) cheerful. Tip: Memorize indefinite pronouns and their number. The correct verb is seems because everyone is singular. Exercises: 1. Either two teachers’ aides or one teacher (has/have) to monitor the test. 2. I would like a list of everybody who (is/are) coming to the party. 3. There (is/are) a dinner and a dance after tonight’s lecture. 4. A box of crayons (was/were) left in the room. 5. Living in the city during the harsh winters (were/was) difficult for Jon. 6. Anyone who has gone to public schools in the United States (know/knows) the importance of having friends to sit with at lunch. 7. Neither the television nor the box of radios (is/are) for sale. 8. There (was/were) a good reason for my absence. 9. Reminding me about the rain in this week’s forecasts (were/was) kind of you. 10. Everyone in the building (has/have) heard the weather alert.
