takes a plural verb. They key is to correctly identify the subject of the
sentence and decide if it is singular or plural. Then, match the verb to
the subject.

is singular and one is plural, the verb agrees with the nearer
subject.

members of the group are regarded individually.

17
● The connectives with, together with, including, as well as, no less than ,
when used to join the subject of a sentence with other substantives, do
not affect the number of the subject.

18
● The pronoun all when it means everything or the only thing takes a
singular verb.

19
● The words each, each one, either, neither, everyone, everybody,
anybody, anyone, nobody, somebody, someone, and no one are singular
and require a singular verb.

20
● When the subject of a sentence is composed of two or more nouns or
pronouns connected by the word and, use a plural verb.

21
