Singular subjects require singular verbs (she runs) and plural subjects, plural verbs (they run). Easy, right? Not always. Here are just a few examples of agreement issues. When the subject is a collective (group) noun, it takes a singular verb if the unity of the group is at issue, as in The faculty votes on academic policy at faculty meetings. But if the individuality of the group members is important to the meaning, the collective noun takes a plural verb: The faculty hold degrees in many different academic disciplines. The situation is similar when the subject is a phrase containing a collective noun and a plural noun: That bunch of bananas looks almost ripe. A bunch of kids get together at the playground every day after school. The pronoun none can be either singular or plural. And multiple dollars are considered singular: A million dollars is a lot of money.
