Read this excerpt about the Vietnam War from Tim O'Brien's "Good Form": I want you to feel what I felt. I want you to know why s

tory-truth is truer sometimes than happening-truth. Here is the happening-truth. I was once a soldier. There were many bodies, real bodies with real faces, but I was young then and I was afraid to look. And now, twenty years later, I'm left with faceless responsibility and faceless grief. Here is the story-truth. He was a slim, dead, almost dainty young man of about twenty. He lay in the center of a red clay trail near the village of My Khe. . . . I killed him. What stories can do, I guess, is make things present. I can look at things I never looked at. I can attach faces to grief and love and pity and God. I can be brave. I can make myself feel again. "Daddy, tell the truth," Kathleen can say, "did you ever kill anybody?" And I can say, honestly, "Of course not." Or I can say, honestly, "Yes."

Exercise 1 Edit the sentence for clarity and correct grammar.
natulia [17]

Answer: "Two friends of mine are Kenji and Jose" is the grammatically correct sentence.

Explanation: In this sentence, "are" acts as the linking verb. It is a form of the linking verb "to be". However, "to be" has another form, "is". The type of verb to be used can usually be determined by how the sentence sounds.

The main way of deciding the verb to use is to relate it to the noun which is performing the action. If the noun itself is singular, "is" must be used whereas for plural nouns "are" is to be used.

When the form of verb is in accordance to the subject, it is called subject-verb agreement.

In the given sentence, the subjects are the two friends Kenji and Jose. Thus, the subject is plural. As a result, "are" is used and the correct sentence is "Two friends of mine are Kenji and Jose".
