CONCORD RULES To show how the verb agrees with its subject in person and number: -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- STUDY THESE CONCORD RULES BEFORE YOU ATTEMPT THE EXERCISE: 1. Two singular subjects joined by and take a plural verb. Tom and Harry are brothers. 2. Two singular subjects separated by either … or / neither … nor take a singular verb. Neither Peter nor his brother is athletes. But: S + Pl = Pl Neither Peter nor his brothers are . . . A singular subject who has a phrase beginning with like, with, or as well as added to it takes a singular verb. Dick, with two others, is going. Mavis, like her sister, is clever. James, as well as Peter, is here. 3. The nouns news, physics, mathematics, politics take a singular verb. The news is bad. Measles is an infectious disease. Mathematics is taught by Mr Moloi.
