Q

What to remember when writing indirect/ reported speech

A

29
Q

Rules of concord

A

1) infinite pronouns are always singular and therefore always require a singular verb
2) each is often followed by a phrase that ends in a plural word, whoever each mean each one and therefore always has a singular verb
3) phrase such as : together with, as well as, along with are not the same as ‘and’. These words do not indicate that the subject is plural
4) the pronouns: either and neither are considered singular and require singular verbs
5) the conjunction ‘or’ does not join two subjects. When ‘nor’ or ‘or’ is used the subject closer to the verb determines if you use a singular or plural
6) sometimes extra information is added into the sentence between the subject and the verb, but thus information must not confuse the agreement between the subject and the verb
7) a pair and collective nouns are treated as singulars
8) some singular nouns ending in ‘s’ are treated as singulars
