Sentence patterns

When a sentence has two or more subjects, that is called a compound subject. The individual subjects in a compound subject are joined by a coordinating conjunction (and, or, neither, nor). In Subject verb agreement, if subjects are joined by and, they are considered plural. For example, “The teacher and the principal plan to see her parents.” The teacher and the principal here are of different persons so we use the plural verb plan. However, in a sentence like this, “The teacher and principal plans to see her parents.” we use a singular verb plans because of the singular subject. The teacher here and the principal refers to only one person. The removal of the word the makes it singular. Now, since clowning and krumping is similar, we should use a singular verb.

Difference between good manners and right conduct

sineoko [7]

Good manners convey respect to those you interact with, and also commands respect from those you interact with. Right conduct is living in a moral and ethical way in the absolute sense rather than by the standards of any particular time or society nation
