Option 2: The Plural of Doom (or is it Plurality?)

So, you've mastered the basics of verb agreement, but now you're faced with the daunting task of dealing with plurals. Don't worry, we've got you covered!

For instance, when discussing a group of cats, you might say:

The cats are sleeping.

Or, for those pesky irregular plurals:

The children are playing.

But wait, what about the cats are playing? No, no, no! That's not right. You see, when the subject is a collective noun, you need to use the correct plural form!

So, here's a quick tip:

• If it's a regular plural (like cats, dogs, or mice), use the regular plural form.
• If it's a collective noun (like team, family, or government), use the singular form.
• And if it's a plural that defies all logic (like the cats that are playing), just make it up!

And that's all for today's lesson. Don't forget to visit our next installment for more mind-bending verb agreement tips!
