When the subject of a sentence is composed of two or more nouns or pronouns that are connected by ‘and,’ use a plural verb.
Example: She and her friends are at the fair.
Example: Joggers and sprinters require supportive running shoes.
When two or more singular nouns or pronouns are connected by ‘or’ or ‘nor’, use a singular verb. Example: The book or the pen is in the drawer.
Example: Neither the professor nor his assistant knows the answer.
When a compound subject contains both a singular and a plural noun or pronoun joined by ‘or’ or ‘nor,’ the verb should agree with the part of the subject that is nearer the verb.
Example: The boy or his friends run every day.
Example: His friends or the boy runs every day.
Neither the professor nor his assistant knows the answer.
The words ‘each,’ ‘each one,’ ‘either,’ ‘neither,’ ‘everyone,’ ‘everybody,’‘anybody,’ ‘anyone,’ ‘nobody,’ ‘somebody,’ ‘someone,’ and ‘no one’ are singular and require a singular verb.
Each of these hot dogs is juicy.
Everybody knows Mr. Jones.
No one appreciates harsh criticism.
Someone likes you.
Do not be misled by a phrase that comes between the subject and the verb. The verb agrees with the subject, not with a noun or pronoun in the phrase.
One of the boxes is open.
The team captain, as well as his players, is anxious.
The book, including all the chapters in the first section, is boring.
The woman with all the dogs walks down my street.
Nouns such as ‘civics,’ ‘mathematics,’ ‘dollars,’ ‘measles,’ and ‘news’ require singular verbs.
The news is on at six.
Note: The word dollars is a special case. When talking about an amount of money, it requires a singular verb, but when referring to the noun dollars themselves, a plural verb is required.
Five dollars is a lot of money.
Dollars are often used instead of rubles in Russia.
Nouns such as ‘scissors,’ ‘tweezers,’ ‘trousers,’ and ‘shears’ require plural verbs. (There are two parts to these things.)
These scissors are dull.
Those trousers are made of wool.
Expressions such as ‘with,’ ‘together with,’ ‘including,’ ‘accompanied by,’ ‘in addition to,’ or ‘as well’ do not change the number of the subject. If the subject is singular, the verb is, too.
The President, accompanied by his wife, is traveling to India.
All of the books, including yours, are in that box.
