Grammar

More SVA Rules:

7. Make the verb agree with its subject, not with a subject complement

        These exercises (is, are) a way to test your ability to perform under pressure.

8. Who, which, and that take verbs that agree with their antecedents.

         Veronica was the only one of the first year Spanish students who (was/were) fluent enough to apply for the exchange program. 

9. Words such as athletics, economics, mathematics, physics, statistics, measles, mumps, and news are usually singular, despite their plural form.

          Statistics (is/are) among the most difficult courses in our program. 

10. Titles of works, company names, words mentioned as words and gerund phrases are singular.

         Lost Cities (describe/describes) the discoveries of many ancient civilizations.

         Delmonico Brothers (specialize/specializes) in organic produce.

         Controlled substances (is/are) a euphemism for illegal drugs.
