The subject of this sentence is everyone, not the skills, so the corresponding verb must be singular: “I think that each of these skills is essential to this work.” In #4, I don`t see how patchwork is a subject. The theme is federal and regional regulations. Banks are the plural subject. What are the banks doing? They therefore record “store” is the plural verb associated with the plural theme. What do they store? They store money, so “money” is the object. Frequent grammatical errors: subject-verbal disunity. The object of a sentence must correspond to the verb of the sentence: in numbers: singular versus plural. first, second or third person. Therefore, what is a verb 3 subject of disagreement? Hello, Renee, In the sentence in question: The patchwork (federal and regional regulations) companies have great uncertainty as to how to satisfy, note that the preposition phrase “federal and state regulations” is an “adjective phrase” that changes the real theme of the sentence that is “patchwork”. “Patchwork” is singular, and the verb of the sentence must therefore correspond to: “The patchwork… a “instead of the fake” Patchwork… ” The first place is a singular verb according to a plural subject.

The second places a plural verb according to a singular subject. (By way of a marginal remark, the “save” makes a transitive verb because it acts on an object.) The theme of a sentence should correspond to the verb of the sentence: While errors with the subject/verb chord in spoken English can apparently slip without repetition, they can be a great writing. Please don`t write like my two-year-old is talking! It only takes a few more seconds to make sure your sentence “works” from a grammatical point of view. If you have some fun examples of problems agreeing, or if you have a real toughie that needs the attention of a professional, please comment below! The verb applies to patchwork, not to the sentence that changes the subject, has not, is not, is right: “The patchwork of federal and regional regulations has left the companies with great uncertainty as to its respect.” I once said that logic in languages like English is very mathematical. Immediately, an ankle head raised a riot, and he said that language has nothing to do with mathematics. Well, here`s a direct counterpoint to this idea: “Singulier” versus “plural.” In English, French, German, Russian, everything is integrated into the language. Some other languages, including some ancient, have “singular,” “dual” and “plural” in their subtantive formations, pronouns and verbs. Sometimes collective nouns can be particularly confusing.

If a single name implies that there are several people, the verb should be singular or plural?! The answer is simple. The verb must always correspond to written subjects (not implicit). The subject-verbal agreement is when the subject and the verb correspond in number/plurality.
