Cut / cuts

Hi teachers,

And yes, the stimulus bill added to that deficit - but a great deal of the package cut taxes, and even conservative economists agree it has helped.

I may read it incorrectly, "a great deal of..." is singular from grammar book.

Is it cut or cuts?

Thank you.

You are right-- if it is present tense. But it could easily be past, couldn't it?

Hi Mister Micawber,

I understand now. It is a past action.

Thank you very much.
