Grammar
has/have, is/are lists
Hi!
I think I've used HAVE and ARE correctly here, though I'm let to believe that HAVE and ARE may be interchangable with HAS or IS. Could someone please confirm?
Thanks!
Greg went to London, as HAVE Bob, Dave, and Sonia
Greg is a talented player, as ARE Bob, Dave, and Sonia

This doesn't sound ok to me, since it is "Greg went to London", not "Greg has gone to London", so I guess you can't use "have". This use of "as" bothers me, too. "

Ok, so if I wrote,
"Greg has went to London, as HAVE Bob, Dave, and Sonia"
is HAVE used correctly?
"Greg has went to London, as HAVE Bob, Dave, and Sonia"
is HAVE used correctly?

Hi,
Greg has gone to ... and so has/have Mary, Susy, etc.
Greg went to ... and so did Mary, Susy, etc.
I don't know if both a singular and a plural verb are ok, but I feel the singular is ok. I just searched the net for this, since a similar thread confused me a little, and I found out that native speakers normally say "Here comes Mary and Sam", instead of "come". So, since they

There seem to be multiple threads circulating on this topic.
Someone else did a nice job in one of the other ones.
Greg has gone, and so (has Mary), (has Susan), and (has Peter).
Greg has gone, and so have (Mary, Susan, and Peter).
I find either has or have acceptable, with has applying to each one in turn, and have applying to the group.

Well, it's a relief to know he and I are in accord. I pretty much doubt myself when my answer contradicts him, Clive, Mr. M, CJ or Nona.
