Hello, so let's answer now the question.
00:03
So here in the question, we are asked if which of the following sentences have the correct or has the correct subject verb agreement.
00:13
If we will analyze each sentence, all of the sentence contains compound subjects.
00:27
Basically, there are subjects, two or more subjects in the sentence.
00:31
Take note, if the two subjects, okay, if the subjects, okay, let me put this if, if the subjects are connected with and, then always remember it is plural, okay, it is a plural subject, okay? so the option that says the boys and girl visits my house is wrong because boys and girl that is wrong because boys and girl that is a compound subject.
01:31
It is both the boy and the girl are connected with and therefore it is plural.
01:38
So it should be the boys and girl visit my house.
01:44
Okay.
01:45
And also it is wrong.
01:47
The statement that says the last statement, the boys and girl in our club is in the cafe.
01:57
That is wrong because again, the boys and girl are connected with and.
02:03
Therefore, it is plural.
02:04
So it should be read as the boys and girl.
02:08
In our club are in the cafe because the boys and girl are or is a plural compound um it's a plural subject okay it's a compound subject now what if the the the subjects are connected with um nor okay nor and or okay we can use nor and or to connect the compound subjects just take note of this the verb okay the verb should agree the verb should agree with the nearest subject okay with the nearer subject what it what it means is the subject the subject that is near to the verb the verb should agree with that subject okay um the verb should agree with the near subject so what i mean is this so for example we have here the table uh not end but or the table or the bookshelves need needs dusting first so what would be our answer? so here we will agree with the nearest subject or the near subject.
04:19
The nearest subject here is the bookshelves.
04:23
And bookshelves are plural...
