Anglo-Link What I think is : data used to be thought of as individual items enlisted in a certain order ; now the word data is considered as a group of individual items.
the police has just issued a statement => police as a unit , it's correct. the police have just issued a statement => police as individuals, it's correct too.
If are is also present in the option which will be the right answer please explain mam There is any difference between A dozen of oranges A dozen oranges----
A dozen oranges (no 'of') is the correct expression. If you think of each individual orange, then the verb is plural: A dozen oranges are eaten by my family every day. If you think of the whole group, then the verb is singular: A dozen oranges is cheaper than a dozen apples.
Because each orange is eaten separately. If the distinction between 'individual' or 'whole' is not obvious and open to interpretation, you can use either a singular or a plural verb.
You can use both 'is' and 'are' depending on the context: 10 days is a long time (uncountable). In your context, I'd use 'are' because you're not following with an uncountable noun.
I am having a doubt in this video 'Neither my parents nor my brother approves of my decision' is given however shouldn't be approve? Becaus my brother here is singular?
Dear Prof, I was wondering if I might dare to ask you a question ? Presently, in this example: Neither my friends nor I AM interested in ... Is that correct ? Most people said " are". Honestly, I would have said: Neither my friends nor AM I interested in....or rather Neither I nor my friends ARE or, Neither I nor ARE my friends interested.. Thank you. I pay my respects to you. A
Your sentence is correct. The verb agrees with the subject closest to it: Neither my friends nor I am ... / Neither I nor my friends are ... You do not need to use an inversion.
Help me with these - Do we use "you and your family" or "you and family" or "your family and you"? "You decide the venue, date and time.", is this order correct?
Hi! First of all, thank you for your amazing lessons! I'd like to ask you to make a video about ways of talking about the future such as: be on verge of/ brink of/ point of/ be due to/ be sure to / bound to. I've tried to learn this topic through the book "Grammar in use" but didn't get it :(
You're very welcome. I see these more as a vocabulary topic than a grammar topic. I think the best way of getting to grips with the usage of these expressions is to look them up in an English-English dictionary, and write down the contextual examples that the dictionary offers.
Hi teacher! I've a question. Regarding to the uncountable noun. If we add adjective in the front of it what will happen? For example "information become" more Information. In this case should we use singular verb or plural? Thank you. I hope i said it well.
HI great video...question no. 8? The Planning Committee is/are meeting again tomorrow. Since the word committee is a collective noun, singular verb should be used, right? Appreciate your help. Thank you.
Thank you! You can use both depending on the verb. If you're referring to the action of each individual member of the committee, you should use 'are', which I think would be more suitable for the action of 'meeting'.
Yes, you can because the 'plural subject' is present in the question (those boxes). However, you can't say: 'What are in those boxes?' You have to say: 'What's in those boxes?' even if the answer is 'All my books.'
Hi, I am studying in 10th (it may be a silly question) @7:33 in video according to that what and who should have singular verb but what about the question - who are they? or what are they doing? It has plural verb
Hello Renuka, Actually, it's a great question. We use the singular verb when the question is asking about the subject of the sentence: WHO knows the answer? THEY know the answer. Who are THEY? (the subject is present in the question.)
Hi. I'm confused by the following examples, Does everyone remember their test score? but everyone is indefinite then Do should be the correct answer DOES is plural? again Each committee consists of 4 individuals, here consist is plural. The Philippines Lies in southeast Asia - Lies is again plural, Neither my parents nor my brother approves of my decision, brother is singular then why approves? Please clear my doubts here. I always get stuck with these points.
Hello Anjali, When you put an 's' after a noun, it becomes plural: brother >> brothers. With verbs, it's the opposite: There is an 's' after the verb with 'he', 'she' & 'it: My bother (he) approves / My brothers (they) approve.
Dear prof, Might I trouble you for a question? Topic: subject agreement with none of + determiner + plural noun + verb : None of my students are ( informal style) or None of my students is ( formal Style ) so both are correct . In case of : Not one of my students are, is or both? I mean none of = not one, not any; thus, what should I use? Thank you. Love you and British English. A
If you say 'Not one of my students', you should use a singular verb, in the same way that you would with the positive sentence: 'One of my students is ...'
Madam,I have a doubt regarding the word,'elder'.when I use the word elder,it means two or three.?In the sentence,he is my elder brother,we are only two brothers or we are three brothers.please clarify.In the sentence,You are our elder daughter,howmany daughter's I have?two or three?p Siva Rao,India.
'elder' doesn't need to be among several people, it can be between just two siblings / children. Here is the Cambridge Dictionary definition: a sister/brother/son/daughter who is older than the other sister(s), brother(s), etc.
Here is a question.In this sentence @ Fish and chips is/are the dish most commonly associated with England. Here ''is " is the main verb or ''are" is the main verb. is there a case when compound subject takes a singular verb. if it is possible please give us some hints.Thanks

*DATA* 😅 A great example of how the better you get at English, the more you notice how people don't care about the rules! *Nice topic!*
Thank you!
Yes, if a grammatical rule is broken by enough native speakers, then the 'mistake' becomes acceptable. 'data' is a great example of this.
Anglo-Link What I think is : data used to be thought of as individual items enlisted in a certain order ; now the word data is considered as a group of individual items.
dat pluaral is datas

Nice teaching mam, keep it up 😀
Thank you very much!
the police has just issued a statement => police as a unit , it's correct.
the police have just issued a statement => police as individuals, it's correct too.
Although this logic may apply to other collective nouns, I'm afraid it doesn't to 'police'. 'police' is always treated as a plural noun.
If are is also present in the option which will be the right answer please explain mam
There is any difference between
A dozen of oranges
A dozen oranges----
A dozen oranges (no 'of') is the correct expression.
If you think of each individual orange, then the verb is plural: A dozen oranges are eaten by my family every day.
If you think of the whole group, then the verb is singular: A dozen oranges is cheaper than a dozen apples.
But mam in this qn why a dozen of oranges is not taken as a unit
Because each orange is eaten separately.
If the distinction between 'individual' or 'whole' is not obvious and open to interpretation, you can use either a singular or a plural verb.
Please explain this rule #11 of subj verb agreement "The verb agrees with the affirmative, not with the negative subject."
no i won't
bitch
Watching before tests. Very amazing
Good luck with your test!
10 days are required to complete the project or 10 days is required to complete the project. Which one is correct?
You can use both 'is' and 'are' depending on the context:
10 days is a long time (uncountable).
In your context, I'd use 'are' because you're not following with an uncountable noun.
Mam thank you for you I get the subject verb agreement very easy you are a very fabulous teacher
Thank you! I'm glad this has been helpful.

I don't like it. >> Neither do I.
thank you so much dear teacher i love youuuuuuuuu
HI great video...question no. 8? The Planning Committee is/are meeting again tomorrow.
Since the word committee is a collective noun, singular verb should be used, right?
Appreciate your help. Thank you.
Thank you!
You can use both depending on the verb. If you're referring to the action of each individual member of the committee, you should use 'are', which I think would be more suitable for the action of 'meeting'.
This is the best example i ever seen or heard anglo-links i love your example #love
tomorrow exam on this video 😅😅😅
I hope you did well!
Mam why 'are'is not used here
cause it dosent wan to biitch

What if I ask: "What are those boxes over there?" I use the plural after what, right?

Yes, you can because the 'plural subject' is present in the question (those boxes). However, you can't say: 'What are in those boxes?' You have to say: 'What's in those boxes?' even if the answer is 'All my books.'

Hello Anjali,
When you put an 's' after a noun, it becomes plural: brother >> brothers.
With verbs, it's the opposite: There is an 's' after the verb with 'he', 'she' & 'it: My bother (he) approves / My brothers (they) approve.

If you say 'Not one of my students', you should use a singular verb, in the same way that you would with the positive sentence: 'One of my students is ...'

Here is a question.In this sentence
@ Fish and chips is/are the dish most commonly associated with England.
Here ''is " is the main verb or ''are" is the main verb.
is there a case when compound subject takes a singular verb.
if it is possible please give us some hints.Thanks
'is' because 'fish & chips' refers to the name of a single dish. Same as: Five dollars is a reasonable price.
Thanks teacher

Thank you, Mimo!
Nahhh I came here because of my module in English🙄🙄
Hi. I wonder Why you used the active sentence for "the vegetables are cooking in the oven?" Should we use "the vegetables are being cooked in the oven?
'cook' can be used both as a transitive ans an transitive verb:
We cook food.
Food cooks.
Therefore, both sentences work.
I am watching this now thanks mam..
