The subject and verb should agree even when other words come between them. For example: The students as well as their teacher, are excited about the upcoming trip to Italy. Is it True or False
I'll be glad to check your answer.
My answer is True... What do you say Ms. Sue. Thank you
You're right. It's true.
To determine if the statement is true or false, we need to identify the subject and verb of the sentence.
The subject is "The students as well as their teacher," and the verb is "are excited."
In this case, the subject is a plural noun phrase since it refers to both the students and their teacher. Therefore, the verb "are excited" agrees with the plural subject.
So, the statement is true.
