In 22-5 quiz, was not too easy for me. It was about Pronoun-antecedent agreement. I tried all my best and I got maybe 5 of 10. And I should practise it more than I do. So, the quiz was given sentence and blank below, and I think, it wants you to rephrase the sentence or maybe something else. Actually, I didn’t understand exactly what it wants. I wish, I get better next time. In 24-3 quiz, I did terrible too. It was about pronoun case (such as I vs me). It looks easy but it’s not. I got 4 of 10 on that quiz.

thank you  

As I said in this blog we’re going to continue what we started with Subject-verb agreement. So, When sentences start with “there” or “here,” the subject will always be placed after the verb, so care needs to be taken to identify it correctly. For example: There is a problem with the balance sheet. Here are the papers you requested. If two infinitives are separated by and they take the plural form of the verb. For example: To walk and to chew gum require great skill. When gerunds are used as the subject of a sentence, they take the singular verb form of the verb; but, when they are linked by and, they take the plural form. For example: Standing in the water was a bad idea. Swimming in the ocean and playing drums are my hobbies.

In 21-5 quiz, was about Subject-verb agreement too. So, in this blog I will continue with the same topic. Here are some rules of Subject-verb agreement which the first one is Subjects and verbs must agree in number. Second, If two subjects are joined by and, they typically require a plural verb form. Third,  If one of the words each, every, or no comes before the subject, the verb is singular. Forth, The singular verb form is usually used for units of measurement or time. And I will continue with more rules in the next blog. So, see me in the next blog.

Thank you  
In 21-3 quiz, I did very good on it. The quiz was about Subject-verb agreement which is  if  the subject of a sentence is composed of two or more nouns or pronouns connected by and, use a plural verb. But if it two or more singular nouns or pronouns are connected by or or nor, use a singular verb. I got full mark on that quiz. It was so easy for me. In 24-1 quiz, I got full mark tow because it’s the same 21-4 quiz. So, I’m done now, and see me in the next blog.

thank you
