There are three persons:
First person- the speaker
Second person-the person spoken to
Third person- the person spoken about
There are two numbers:
Singular- denoting one person or thing
Plural- denoting more than one person or thing
Nouns ending in s are usually plural.
Verbs ending in s are singular.
Singular subjects should be paired with singular verbs and plural subjects should be
paired with plural verbs.

Hard work and persistence are required in all rewarding accomplishments.
Where are the pens and paper?
Subjects which include at least two nouns or pronouns connected by and should be paired
with plural verbs.
the manager and the employees are
the cats and the dog run
the man and the woman are
2. Subjects Joined by Or or Nor

part closest to the verb. This also applies to either/or and neither/nor.

Modifying phrases or clauses that come between the subject and the verb do not change
the number of the verb. The number of the verb is determined entirely by the number of
the subject:
The assignment, which they submitted to their professor, was incomplete.
[Assignment is the subject of the verb was].
The new computer classroom, with its many work stations and its sophisticated
technology, fills [not fill] a long-felt need. [Computer classroom is the subject of
the verb fills; the phrase with its many work stations… has nothing to do with the
verb.]
4. Verb Preceding the Subject
It is possible for a verb to come before a subject in a sentence. The rules of agreement
between the subject and the verb remain the same despite the change in order.
There is in many cities a desire to reduce traffic and pollution. [Desire is the
subject of the verb is.]
There are a stapler, two pens, four books, and a writing tablet on the desk.
[Stapler, pens, books and writing tablet are the subjects of the verb are.]
Where are Joan and her daughters going? [Joan and her daughters are subjects of
the verb are going.]
5. Indefinite Pronouns
The indefinite pronouns or adjectives either, neither, and each, as well as compounds
such as everybody, anybody, everyone, and anyone are always singular. None may be
singular or plural. The plural usage is more common.
Each of the cars has its insurance proof in the glove compartment.
Everyone at the meeting was upset over the policies announced.
Every employee, supervisor, and executive reveals the operation of a model
company.

Margot stood apart from them, from these children who could never remember a time when there wasn't
rain and rain and rain. They were all nine years old, and if there had been a day, seven years ago, when the
sun came out for an hour and showed its face to the stunned world, they could not recall. Sometimes, at
night, she heard them stir, in remembrance, and she knew they were dreaming and remembering gold or a
yellow crayon or a coin large enough to buy the world with. She knew they thought they remembered a
warmness, like a blushing in the face, in the body, in the arms and legs and trembling hands. But then they
always awoke to the tatting drum, the endless shaking down of clear bead necklaces upon the roof, the
walk, the gardens, the forests, and their dreams were gone.
bard
All day yesterday they had read in class about the sun. About how like a lemon it was and how hot.
dar
And they had written small stories or essays or poems about it I think the sun is a flower that blooms for
just one hour. That was Margot's poem, read in a quiet voice in the still classroom while the rain was falling
outside
"Aw, you didn't write that protested one of the boys.
"I did." said Margot. "I did."
15. This passage is mostly about-
How difficult it is for Margot to express herself in this hostile environment
How Margolis artistic and creative which is not valued by people on this planet
How Mangot is different from the other children because she remembers the sun
How hapoy Margot is while waiting expectantly to view the sun again
Answer:
This passage is mostly about a girl, Margot, who is ridiculed a lot, and lives on Venus. She is very different from other kids because she actually previously lived on Earth and could remember what the Sun was like while the other kids, who have lived on the constant raining planet their whole life have no idea what the Sun is like. One day, the Sun comes out when it stopped raining for just a couple minutes. The children are filled with joy, but when the rain comes back and the Sun goes away again, the children are sad once more.
