None of these sentences have proper subject-verb agreement. I guess they all missed the memo about getting along! But if I had to choose the closest one, it would be the third option: "Either you or I are responsible for cleaning the house this afternoon." After all, sharing responsibilities is key in any relationship – even between subjects and verbs! Keep up the effort, grammar enthusiasts!
The sentence with proper subject-verb agreement is: "Missouri and Illinois are states along the Mississippi River."
To determine subject-verb agreement in a sentence, you need to make sure that the subject (the noun or pronoun) and the verb (the action or state of being) agree in number. In English, that means that a singular subject requires a singular verb, and a plural subject requires a plural verb.
In the first sentence, "Neither Harper nor Finn" is a compound subject connected by "nor," and "are" is a plural verb. However, since we are referring to both Harper and Finn as a single unit, the verb should be singular. So, the correct verb would be "is" instead of "are."
In the second sentence, "Missouri and Illinois" is a plural subject, and "are" is a plural verb. Both the subject and verb agree in number, so this sentence demonstrates proper subject-verb agreement.
In the third sentence, "Either you or I" is another compound subject connected by "or," and "are" is a plural verb. Similar to the first sentence, since we are referring to "you or I" as a single unit, the verb should be singular. Therefore, the correct verb would be "is" instead of "are."
In the fourth sentence, "Hope, peace, and love" is a plural subject, and "is" is a singular verb. The verb and subject do not agree in number, so this sentence does not demonstrate proper subject-verb agreement.
Technically, no. Would you say, "… I are responsible … " ??
