Multiple subject verb agreement with “and”
Posted on Thursday, October 7, 2010 in Subject-Verb Agreement
Most of the time two subjects joined by and use a plural verb:
Jack and Jill went up the hill.
If each, every or no come before the subject, use a singular verb:
No pink and yellow is allowed.
Every boy and girl is welcome.
If the two subjects separated by and are really one item, use a singular verb:
Macaroni and cheese is my favorite casserole.
