Happy married life Collegenews.

Thanks TemitopeJnr for the lovely update.

You welcome sir.

MZrapper:

You know I will. We had a deal remember?

Okay oo

Queenyprinxex:


Since like forever and you only dropped half gist?
What in God's name is wrong with you people? Even to the Temmy I thought was different.

Lol.
I'm very sorry ma, just trying to take my time.
I promise to update everything tomorrow.

Queenyprinxex:
Temitopejnr
Thank you my lover.
Been dying to read the wedding gist.
Moreeeeee!!!

Typing ma .

MZrapper:
TemitopeJnr.

Even I that was present at the wedding, I am still anxious to read the end of your gist.

Keep it coming baby.

Ah! Auntie Farida, you are supposed to do your part too fa.

PrincessMila:

Thanks, sweetie

Just read your entry and I was grinning throughout. Please continue, the suspense is killing I think I'm gonna stick around here for a while cos I'm waiting in anticipation for your next update.

Please stick around, I promise to not bore you.
I cross my heart.

PrincessMila:

I'm so sorry my love. There's a personal reason for that, and that's why I'm still not here often.

Alright baby mi.
Your happiness is what's important to me.
Please be fine ma, like always.

PrincessMila:

I've been hiding dear

And she calls me ma

Hope you're doing alright sweetie?

Hope you sha know you did not try at all for me for just going MIA?
Anyways, you are back and I have forgiven you.
Yeah, I doing quite well.

XXII:


I have been fine too.

I wasn't the one that brought her back. She made a post the same day you asked after her before I could inform her or reply your mention. (Maybe y'all minds were in sync )
By the way, that's the reason I didn't reply with answers to how she was and all.

That's a striking coincidence. I am glad she's back anyways.

PrincessMila:

My baby

Congrats sweetie. I've missed you plenty

My sweetest love.
I have missed you more and more. It has been a while really.
How have you been ma?
So happy to finally read from you.

Thanks so much ma.

XXII:

How are you?

I have been fine, how about you sir?
Thanks for bringing her back.

Good evening Sir XXII.
Have you been hearing from Auntie Kathkat? Hope she's been fine? It's really been a while.
Please send her my regards.

josh123:
the answer is "are" I made a mistake earlier

Thanks so much.
Now it's clear.

josh123:
"IS" is a singular verb while are is a plural verb

I know 'is' is the singular verb.
My question is this; since you agreed that the subject in his question is in plural form, why didn't you as well agree that a plural verb should be used. Which should be "How are John and Mercy?"

But you instead picked the first. I.e How is John and Mercy?
You get me sir?

josh123:
I think the first one is correct

josh123:
they are the verbs while the names are the subject

That means the subject is in plural form then going by this;

The law of concord the verb must agree with the subject, if the subject is singular then the verb should be singular and vice versa

Why should the verb be singular when the subject is plural??

josh123:
The law of concord the verb must agree with the subject, if the subject is singular then the verb should be singular and vice versa

Sorry to interrupt sir.
What is/are the subject(s)in that question?

I don't know what my name is doing there tho, I will give it a shot regardless.


This hasn't really crossed my mind before but I think if I want to make that statement I will stick with the plural form.

Replace the "John and Mercy" with they and see if you could still consider "is" as an option in the case of 'How is "they" doing'?

Or imagine if John and Mercy were someone's children and you were asking after them using children instead of mentioning their respective names.
Would you pick "how is your children" over how are your children?
I very much believe it's more appropriate to use "are".
Considering 'subject and verb agreement rules'.
My opinion.

prinx55555:

Greater accomplishments.

Thanks so much sir.
I'm grateful.
