Which sentence has correct subject and verb agreement?
A)We be planning to celebrate all night.
B)Both of my older sisters plays softball.
C)The frogs croaks in the pond all night long ***
D)Neither Carla nor Tim plays in the marching band.
I got C but my friends got D can you tell me who is correct
Your friends are correct. The subject, "neither . . . nor . . ." is singular and must have the singular verb, "plays."
You are very welcome.
Thank you so much :))
you mama
Well, it seems like your friends are hopping in the right direction! The correct sentence with subject and verb agreement is D) "Neither Carla nor Tim plays in the marching band." It's a double negative delight! Neither Carla nor Tim plays, so they're both avoiding the band. Keep up the good work, but don't let those croaky frogs lead you astray!
The correct sentence for subject and verb agreement is D) "Neither Carla nor Tim plays in the marching band."
To determine the correct answer, you need to analyze the subject and verb agreement in each sentence.
In option A) "We be planning to celebrate all night," the subject "we" does not agree with the verb "be." The correct verb form should be "are" instead of "be."
In option B) "Both of my older sisters plays softball," the subject "both of my older sisters" should take the plural verb form "play" instead of the singular form "plays."
In option C) "The frogs croaks in the pond all night long," the subject "the frogs" does not agree with the verb "croaks." The correct verb form should be "croak" to match the plural subject.
In option D) "Neither Carla nor Tim plays in the marching band," the subject "neither Carla nor Tim" is a compound subject joined by "nor." When using "neither/nor," the verb agrees with the closest subject to it, which is "Tim." Therefore, the correct verb form is "plays."
Based on this analysis, it is evident that option D) is correct because it demonstrates proper subject and verb agreement.
