General question about plural and singular
0 Hello all, 02 br
02 br
00 Thank you for reading this message. 02 br
02 br
00 My question is related to plural/singular verb agreements. What is the general rule of thumb to know how to know which agreements the verb takes? 02 br
02 br
00 Per exemple, the following phrase: 02 br
02 br
01 i 00 "Applying the proper e-marketing strategies gives you the ability..." 02 br
02 br
02 i 00 Does the verb give require a S because its singular as the proper e-marketing strategies, or the agreement is plural as there is more than one strategy? 02 br
02 br
00 I hope I make myself clear. 02 br
02 br
00 Thanks, 02 br

0 The singular verb, 01 i 00 'gives' 02 i 00 , is used because the subject, ' 01 i 00 Applying 02 i 00 ' (a gerund) is uncountable. 0-
