4.9.3 In Compound Sentences<br />

Agreement in compound sentences is the same as that in<br />

simple sentences. However, there is a variation in sentences<br />

with a conjoined NP subject. Normally the verb agrees with<br />

the subject as a whole, but sometimes it agrees with the<br />

first NP in the subject. This happens when the first NP is<br />

emphasized. The verb is rarely made to agree with the second<br />

NP.
