Arise or arises
“I will be improving my skills to prepare myself should the opportunity for next steps arise.”
Would it be arise or arises?
Top answer
Because the modal "should" is modifying the verb, then only the base form "arise" is correct. However, "for next steps" is ungrammatical, and its meaning is unclear.
