Grammar
Is [is / are] the right word to use?
Hey,
I'm a teacher and have been doing some basic language conventions at the beginning of each English lesson just to get the children thinking.
One of the questions I put up was:
"Which of the boys [is / are] going whale watching?"
I thought it was a simple question, but now that I think about it it could be quite confusing for them.
Just wondering what you thoughts / explanations are to my question.\
Cheers

Either is possible; it depends on the number of likely boys.
