A singular subject must have a singular verb, and a plural subject must have a plural verb. When the subject is joined by "and," use a plural verb. Use a singular verb with singular indefinite pronouns like "everyone" or "nobody." Collective nouns can take a singular or plural verb depending on the context. Make sure to match the verb with the closest subject when using phrases like "along with" or "as well as."

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.
How do you know to use is or are in a sentence?
'Is' is used with a singular subject. 'Are' is used with a plural subject. Examples: 'My house is in the country.' 'I saw him yesterday, and he is looking better.' 'She says she is unhappy in her new job.' 'Those houses are badly designed.' 'They are the best we can offer.' 'She and her mother are in the supermarket.' Sometimes it's not immediately clear whether a subject is singular or plural. For example, the word 'majority' is singular in form but is plural in meaning if it is used with a 'countable' noun. So it may take 'is' or 'are', depending on the context. Examples: 'The majority of the work is being done by the plumber.' ('The work' is not a 'countable' noun, so this must be singular.) 'There are five hundred people at the meeting, and the majority are in favour of the proposal.' ('The people' are considered as 500 individuals, so the subject is plural.) 'The majority of the population is in favour of ending the war.' ('The population' is considered as a single entity, so the subject is singular.) The distinction can be quite fine, and the choice of whether to use 'is' or 'are' can sometimes be a matter of personal preference.
