Answer 6

"The Pickwick papers" was Dicken's first published novel.
....because The Pickwick Papers, while the WORD is plural, is a SINGLE title of a book, it's a SINGLE book, so the verb is single

Jeremy and Chad don't know the words to the song.

....PLURAL, because we're talking about the two people

Seven dollars and fifty cents is too much to spend on lunch.

...because seven dollars and fifty cents, while plural, is a single amount of money

Answer 7

was....you need quotes around "The Pickwick Papers" to indicate is it a single title of a single book, and it is.

Jeremy and Chad are two guys so it's "don't" Now the argument could be made that "Chad and Jeremy" which was a pop band consisting of a guy named Chad, and a guy named Jeremy might serve as a singular.

$7.50 is too much. the price is a single thing. also you need two "o"s in too.

I was listening to a Monty Python album from the 70's, and the announcer at a "novel writing event" states that the crowd are loving it. we yanks always say IS, but they are looking at the crowd as individuals.

Answer 8

u have to know if the verb tense is plural or singular, past, present, or future.

The Pickwick Paper"S" is plural so the verb agreement would be "were."
Jeremy and Chad (two people/plural) DON'T know the words to the song.
Seven dollars and fifty cents(one amount/singular) IS too much to spend on lunch.

Answer 9

1)'The Pickwick Papers' WAS Dicken's first published novel.
2)Jeremy and Chad DON'T know the words to the song.
3)Seven dollars and fifty cents IS to much to spend on lunch.

YOUR WELCOME!

Answer 10

Pickwick Papers is singular, even though there is an s on the end. It's just like the 3rd one. WAS. It's the title of a book, people.

This is why you are an idiot to get homework answers from Yahoo.

Answer 11

ok (was) just means formerly or used to be and it is used only when speaking about one thing , like I (was) running or it (was) over there .....now the word "were" is also a past tense word but it is used when speaking of multiple things (two or more) an example of this would be THEY (were) running or THOSE papers (were) over there.


(doesn't) means "does not" where as the word (don't) means "do not" again we have the same thing where one is for multiple things and one is for singular. so if your talking about one person or thing you use the word (doesn't or does not) "the dog (doesn't) like water ...if speaking of two or more things you use the word(s), (do not) or (don't) an example.... the dogs (don't)
like water

the last sentence you have there might be especially confusing because it is hard to determine if the money is being thought of as multiple things (seven dollars) or as a singular thing, in reality it is multiple things because of how it is phrased but for whatever reason we don't consider it as so so for that example you would use the word for describing something singular, you'll just have to remember that it when occurs, English has a lot of exceptions that bugger things up.
the word (is) is singular...my hand (is) hurting the word (are) is plural (meaning it is used when speaking of multiple things) ...my hands (are)hurting.

hope this has solved your problem!
