This question requires knowledge about subject-verb agreement.

What is subject-verb agreement?

  • The noun that is the subject of a sentence will express a number, that is, it will refer to one or more individuals. If it refers to one, then it is singular. If it refers to more than one, it is plural.
  • The verb that accompanies the subject must agree in number with the subject. If the subject is singular, the verb is also singular. If the subject is plural, the verb should also be plural.

How to identify singular and plural?

  • In general, plural nouns end in "s". Take a look at the singular-plural pairs below:
  1. boy - boys
  2. cat - cats
  3. house - houses
  • However, some nouns have irregular plurals. That is the case with:
  1. person - people
  2. child - children
  3. man - men
  • Also, some nouns convey the notion of several individuals. For example, the word "police" is plural because it implies a lot of policemen.

What about the verbs in the question?

  • We can divide the verbs in the question into singular and plural categories as follows:
  1. Singular: was, is, and does
  2. Plural: were, are, and do
