No. The subject is "this guy and John", a compound subject joined by "and"; therefore, the subject is plural and a the proper verb form is "think" rather than "thinks"

What is grammatically wrong with the sentence That is definitely something to be proud of?

Not a thing!Some grammarians claim that it is wrong to end a sentence with a preposition. I'm here to tell you that it is THEY (those grammarians who make that claim) who are wrong. Technically, this is called "preposition stranding", and does not necessarily occur at the end of a sentence, but any time a preposition is separated from its object. But wherever it occurs, there is absolutely nothing gramatically wrong with preposition stranding in the English language. Indeed, what is considered gramatically incorrect is unnaturally altering a sentence to AVOID stranding a preposition.Here is a very common English sentence that ends with a stranded preposition:"What are you talking about?"Were this sentence rearranged to "unstrand" the preposition, it would read:"About what are you talking?"But yet no one ever says it that way. Why not? Because it's simply not natural. Seriously, I defy anyone who thinks preposition stranding is incorrect to find that second, unnaturally-mangled sentence is ANY English-language work, spoken or written.


When to use think or thinks in a sentence?

"Think" is used with first person (I, we), second person (you), and third person plural (they) subjects. Example: I think we should go. "Thinks" is used with third person singular (he, she, it) subjects. Example: She thinks he is lying.

Which is correct Neither her associates nor the doctor think or thinks the surgery is necessary?

"Neither her associates nor the doctor thinks the surgery is necessary" is correct. When more than one subject of a verb is joined by one of the conjunctions "or" or "nor", the verb should agree in number with the alternative subject closest to the verb in the sentence. "The doctor" [singular] is closer to the verb "thinks" than is "her associates" [plural].

Does this sentence demonstrate correct subject verb agreement Elena thinks five dollars are a lot of money.?

The given sentence has got two clauses: First one is a main or principal clause, "Elena thinks" where the subject 'Elena' is first person singular which agrees with the verb 'thinks'. Second clause is a subordinate one: "five dollars are a lot of money". In this, 'five dollars', even though apparently a plural noun does work as singular noun, is the subject of verb 'are'. As 'a lot of money', the object of the verb 'are', is considered singular since the article 'a' makes it a singular entity, the verb 'are' does not agree with it. Actually the verb 'is' should be substituted for 'are' ("Elena thinks [that] five dollars is a lot money"). Hope this explanation clears the confusion.
