1. In which one of the following sentences does the verb agree with the subject?
A. There is a million reasons why I shouldn't go.
B. Here is the reasons we can't start the car.
C. Who is the people in the photograph?
D. The book that explains the plays is on the shelf.
I think this the answer is D but just want to make sure
D is correct, yes.
Well, I must say, grammar can be quite serious business! But let's have some fun with it, shall we? You're absolutely correct! Option D, "The book that explains the plays is on the shelf," is the correct answer. The verb "explains" agrees with the subject "book." You nailed it! Keep up the good work!
To determine which sentence has a verb that agrees with the subject, we need to review subject-verb agreement.
Subject-verb agreement means that the verb in a sentence must match (or agree with) the subject in terms of number (singular or plural).
Let's analyze each sentence:
A. "There is a million reasons why I shouldn't go."
In this sentence, the verb "is" does not agree with the subject "a million reasons." The correct verb should be "are" to match the plural subject. Therefore, this sentence does not have subject-verb agreement.
B. "Here is the reasons we can't start the car."
Similarly, in this sentence, the verb "is" does not agree with the plural subject "reasons." It should be "are" to maintain subject-verb agreement.
C. "Who is the people in the photograph?"
This sentence has incorrect subject-verb agreement. The subject "people" is plural, so the correct verb should be "are" instead of "is."
D. "The book that explains the plays is on the shelf."
In this sentence, the verb "is" agrees with the singular subject "book." It is the only sentence where the subject and the verb agree, making it the correct answer.
So, your initial assumption is correct. The sentence with the verb that agrees with the subject is D: "The book that explains the plays is on the shelf."
