Good morning, nice people in this forum!
Can any native speaker help, please? I came across this doubt. In a CPE book, (Cambridge Academic English) I found that
with "a number of+plural noun", we should use a singular verb. However, in that same explanation I found that after a "number of+plural noun/pronoun", we should write a plural verb. I got confused, because that makes me think that both singular and plural can be used.
I would really appreciate it if you could clarify it.
Many thanks, guys!
Have a great day.
Hugs!
Vina.
