Read the following sentences from the text and underline the subject and the verb. 1. Amma and Appa are fast asleep. (When the subject of a sentence has two or more nouns or pronouns that are connected by ‘and’, we use a plural verb). 2. It’s hot, dry, and there is sand everywhere. (In case the subject is ‘it’, the verb that follows is either ‘is’ or ‘was’ depending on the tense of the sentence). 3. There are so many hills here, and beaches too. (When we begin a sentence with ‘there’, the subject comes after the verb).

Amma and Appa are fast asleep. In this sentence, “Amma and Appa” is the subject and “are” is the verb. Since two people are joined by “and,” the subject is plural. Therefore, the plural verb “are” is correctly used to show they are sleeping.

      1. Amma and Appa are fast asleep.
        Subject: Amma and Appa
        Verb: are

      Explanation: The subject “Amma and Appa” is plural (two people), so the verb “are” is used.

       

      1. It’s hot, dry, and there is sand everywhere.
        Subject: It, sand
        Verbs: is (It’s), is (there is)

      Explanation: “It” is the subject for “It’s hot, dry” and takes the verb “is”. In “there is sand”, the actual subject is “sand”, and the verb “is” comes before it.

       

      1. There are so many hills here, and beaches too.
        Subjects: hills, beaches
        Verb: are

      Explanation: In sentences starting with “there”, the verb agrees with the subject that comes after. Here, the plural subjects “hills” and “beaches” require the plural verb “are”.
