Guided Notes
Key concepts students will learn:
- •
With two subjects connected by the word 'and,' we use a plural verb, as in 'John and Katie are students.'
- •
Words like 'mathematics' and 'news' end in 's' but are considered singular, so they take a singular verb such as is.
- •
When using 'there' at the beginning of a sentence, the verb depends on what follows; for example, 'There was a gift' versus 'There were some gifts.'
