1)"The product that we chose is shoes."
or
2)"The product that we chose are shoes."
Which one is correct?
"The product that we chose are shoes."
I hope you check back because "Mike" is incorrect.
The subject of the sentence is product -- singular. Therefore, the verb needs to be singular, too -- is.
The correct sentence is "The product that we chose is shoes." In this sentence, the verb "is" agrees with the singular noun "shoes." When the subject is a singular noun, it is followed by a singular verb. So, in this case, "is" is the correct verb to use.
To understand which verb to use, it is helpful to identify the subject of the sentence. In this case, the subject is "the product." Since "product" is a singular noun, the verb should also be singular to agree with it.
To determine subject-verb agreement in a sentence, follow these steps:
1. Identify the subject of the sentence.
2. Determine if the subject is singular or plural.
3. Select the appropriate verb form (singular or plural) to agree with the subject.
In this sentence, the subject "the product" is singular, so the verb "is" (singular) is the correct form.
