Grammar
Expect vs. Expects - please help :-)!
Hi everybody,
Please could somebody tell me whether the extract below should use 'expect' or 'expects'.
I think it should use 'expects' as it only refers to one society, but I wanted to check with the experts :-)
The Society of Motor Manufacturers and Traders expect/expects(?)...
Thanks in advance!

- If you perceive 'society' as an entity use 'expects'.
- Use 'are' if you view 'society' as consisting of the people involved in the society.
