Hey Grammar Nuts, can you please help me out?

Question

Are the following sentences grammatically correct?

1. Everyone in the U.S.< and/as well as> the Canadians, thinks that the agreement will fall through.

2. The Canadians, everyone in America think that the agreement will fall through.

Note: I understand that a series of singular nouns only becomes a plural subject when the series is connected by the word "and".

I'm not looking for suggestions on sentence structure; I just want to make sure that I'm using the proper verb form given how the sentences are structured.

john_aka,

I don't understand why you used the singular "thinks" here:

"The Canadians, as well as everyone in America, thinks the Agreement will Fall through."

Answer 1

1. Everyone in the U.S. and in Canada think that the ........

2. The Canadians and the Americans think................................

Answer 2

2. The Canadians, as well as everyone in America, think that the agreement will fall through.

This is correct.

Answer 3

The Canadians, as well as everyone in America, believes the Agreement will Fall through."

Answer 4

Everyone in the U.S. as well as the Canadians think that the agreement will fall through.

Answer 5

Everyone in the United States, as well as the Canadians, thinks the agreement will fall through.

You can't say "everyone in the united states, and in the canadians" You can't be in the canadians, you can be among them though. When you say a a place and want to include people you say "as well as".

The Canadians and everyone in America thinks the Agreement will Fall through.


"that the" is not needed unless you're saying they thought as in past tense. Anytime you want to subside include a noun, use comma's.

For instance you could Say "Sarah and John went to the park."

When you subside-include:

Sarah, as well as John, went to the park.

Answer 6

In your first sentence everyone is the subject and is singular, therefore requires a singular verb -- thinks; in the U. S., whether you use and or as well as the Canadians, is a prepositional phrase.
In the second sentence the Canadians, whether or not you use and or as well as everyone in America, constitute a plural subject. thus requiring a plural verb -- think.
And is not the important word in either sentence. I hope that the above is helpful...

Do you ever wander into different YA sections besides this one? take a glance in Yahoo products/solutions & that's going to marvel you.the countless questions are so undesirable that's puzzling to decipher purely what they're on approximately,& the spelling is atrocious.

Answer 8

No Sir they are not correct. If this is for your homework try to ask your teacher about some correct ways.

Hope I helped!
