Info

A subject and a verb must agree, even when other words or phrases come between them. Example: The flock of geese is flying south for the winter. The subject is “flock,” so the verb should be “is flying.” Ignore the prepositional phrase “of geese” when determining verb number.
<strong>Subject</strong>s joined by “and” usually take a plural verb. Example: Dave and Bree went on a date. Exception: For phrases like “each girl and boy” or “every cat and bird,” where the subjects are considered individually, use a singular verb. Each actor and actress had a line in the play.
