A compound subject joined by OR requires what kind of a verb?
a verb that agrees with the closest subject
Enumerate atleast 10 rules governing the subject verbal?
Verbal subjects follow several key rules: The subject must agree in number with the verb (singular vs. plural). Collective nouns can be singular or plural depending on whether the group acts as a unit or individually. Indefinite pronouns (like "everyone" or "some") often take singular verbs. Titles of works, even if plural in form, take singular verbs. When subjects are joined by "and," the verb is typically plural. With subjects joined by "or" or "nor," the verb agrees with the nearer subject. Inverted sentences (like questions) still follow subject-verb agreement rules. Intervening phrases do not affect subject-verb agreement. Compound subjects may require a singular or plural verb based on context. In sentences starting with "there is" or "there are," the subject follows the verb, affecting agreement.

Compound subject noun that joined by and refer to a single verb?
A compound subject noun consists of two or more nouns joined by "and" that collectively perform the action of a single verb. For example, in the sentence "The cat and dog play in the yard," both "cat" and "dog" are part of the compound subject that shares the verb "play." This means that the action applies to both subjects together, rather than individually.

What is false about a compound subject?
A compound subject consists of two or more subjects joined by a conjunction that share the same verb. A common misconception is that a compound subject always requires a plural verb; however, if the subjects are considered a single unit or refer to the same entity, a singular verb may be appropriate. For example, in the sentence "Peanut butter and jelly is my favorite sandwich," the compound subject acts as a single item, justifying the singular verb "is."

If there is both a singular and a plural subject in a sentence what will the verb be?
There are some special rules for compound subjects. Subjects joined by the word and will always use the plural noun (except where the word each or every is used). If the subjects are joined by the words or or nor, the verb will match the last subject in the pair or group.ExamplesThe king and his counselors wait for the queen.The counselors and the king wait for the queen.Either the king or his counselors wait for the queen.Either the counselors or the king waits for the queen.---Also, recognize the subject where there is a prepositional phrase:The key to the doors remains in the drawer.In this sentence key is the subject so the verb is singular (has an S).The keys to the door remain in the drawer.Now the subject is plural and the verb is plural (drops the S).
My sister and i was or were?
The correct phrase is "my sister and I were." In English, when referring to a compound subject, the verb should agree in number with the plural subject. Since "sister and I" together form a plural subject, the verb "were" is appropriate.

"It" is a singular subject so it requires a singular verb. Any plural verb following "it" is incorrect (unless "it" is part of a compound subject).

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."
