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.
