It depends on how the noun is been used...either singular or plural form.
Collective noun like choirs, would be followed by are
While choister would be followed by is


The congregation is/was(PT) dancing
The congregation s are/were(PT) dancing


The correct answer is IS because the collective noun was a singular



No need arguing... that's just ur opinion.
lol...the congregation there is not a singular noun but a plural one....
consider this example now..

Our club is ten years old today(it attracts singular verb cos club there stands for just organization or its physical building and didn't perform any action)

our club are holding meeting tomorrow (our club here now stands for the members and not just the organization..Also they will be performing action which is "holding meeting "winkthat's why plural verb was used.

Same way congregation (members are performing action which is " singing "wink it should attract plural verb and not a singular one...

The question is even straightforward...Not confusing as other questions from notional Concord

Please people help
The congregation are dancing
The congregation is dancing

Please which is correct??


the former....



congregation there is a collective noun(Notional Concord)

normally, collective noun goes with singular verb but in this case it performs action and for that, it attracts plural noun...

let break it down...

the congregation (that's the members) are dancing not is...



let me come and be going..

I think you missed the part were he killed himself

my question is are we sure that he actually killed himself? we have heard numerous cases where murderers force poison on their targets or even use rope to hang them under the guise of suicide....Something is fishy here joor

No. They could just check the message details for when it was written/typed.

what if they (his murderers)typed that before doing the job?

I told my friends that Nnamdi KANU is the greatest scam of the century but they unanimously agreed that I'm an Igbo with Hausa blood...where is Nnamdi KANU now?..........hahaha.... He yaf taken to his clean heels...After leading some of his tribesmen to their untimely death all he could do was to go into hiding... He even boasted that he can lay down his life if that can help them actualize their Biafra dreams
