Do I use singular or plural? Fights is plural and John is singular. Which one does the verb have to agree with in the sentence?
Thank you.
Thank you.
If "fights" is a verb, then it is not plural.Fights is plural
I think the first one.It might help if you think of a statement rather than a question first.
Which would you choose out of:
John was involved in some fights.
or
John were involved in some fights.
?
Thank you.Yes - and the subject is "John" in both
John was involved in some fights.
and
What fights was John involved in?
