🔹 Basic Rule Reminder:
- A
singular subject takes a
singular verb → use
"is"
- A
plural subject takes a
plural verb → use
"are"
Also, remember:
-
"One of" constructions usually take a
singular verb because the subject is "one" (singular), even though it refers to a group.
- Pronouns like
he, she, it are singular → use
"is"
- Pronouns like
they, we, you are plural → use
"are"
