ENGL140 -ALNASHMI, Abdulraouf - Week 7 1/4

I took 21-3 quiz. It was too easy. It was about Subject-verb agreement. I got 10 out of 10. The questions was Click on the correct verb in the parentheses. There was many examples about subject-verb agreement such as “Before reaching college, nearly everyone already (knows / know) several facts about fables.” knows was the right answer because the subject, everyone, is third-person singular, so the -s form of the verb is required. Also there is another kind of question like “There (is / are) generally only two or three characters in an Aesop fable.” the answer of course are because the subject of the clause, characters, is plural, so the verb is are.. Also there is Ex. for present perfect which is “ Aesop, to whom most familiar fables in Western culture (has / have) been attributed, lived from 620 to 560 BCE.”  and  I knew that always with most we use have and the reason why because the sentence begins with the expletive there, the subject follows the verb.
