Zorluk: KolaySubject-Verb Agreement (Concord)

Complete the sentence below by supplying the correct verb form that maintains proper subject-verb agreement.

Cevap:Bread and butter 【is】 his favourite breakfast every morning.

Cevap

The correct verb to complete the sentence is 'is'.
In standard English concord, when two nouns joined by 'and' refer to a single entity, combination, or concept (such as 'bread and butter' served as a single meal), they take a singular verb ('is').

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Identify the compound subject and its grammatical meaning
The phrase 'Bread and butter' functions as a single unified concept (a food item/meal).
When two singular nouns joined by 'and' express a single idea, item, or combination, the subject is treated as singular.
2
Apply the rule of subject-verb concord
Select the singular third-person verb 'is'.
Singular subjects take singular verbs.
