example of the topic that we will be
discussing today. I will discuss additional
3 rules in subject verb agreement which
composes of collective nouns, titles of
books used as subject and using the
expression a number and the number”
T: “Rule# 14 in Grammar about
Collective nouns such as a family, class,
audience, herd, couple, committee, jury,
staff, team, group, faculty, crowd etc.,
may take either a singular or a plural
verb depending upon their use in the
sentences.

Examples:
The team is going to attack the base.
(The collective noun team is thought of
as a unit acting together as one, so the
subject team is considered as plural)

The team are arguing about the

strongest enemy.
The collective noun team is thought of
us individual members that make up the
group.

Rule #19: Titles of Books, Movies, novels,

etc. when used as subject take singular
verb

Examples:
1. “Indarapatra and Sulayman” is a
very interesting story.
2. “The Philippine Legends” is on
sale on all bookstores.

Rule #2016 The expression “the number”

takes a singular verb; the expression “a
number” takes a plural verb.

Example:

1. A number of monsters are

marching towards the castle of the
enemy.
2. The number of people who died in
battle was unmeasurable.
