Singular and plural words
I know that when a word is singular you use an 's.' And when the word is plural you do not use an 's.' But, for some reason I am stuck on which sentence below is gramatically correct.
Two suggestions that mesh well together.
Or
Two suggestions that meshes well together.
Two suggestions that mesh well together.
Or
Two suggestions that meshes well together.

' Your partial sentence (it is not a complete sentence) refers to 'two suggestions' (plural), so it needs the third person plural form of the verb 'to mesh', which is 'mesh': - two suggestions that mesh well together - it meshes (third person singular) - they mesh (third person plural) The word 'that' in your partial sentence is a relative pronoun and it refers directly to 'suggestions'. To make a complete sentence, you could say something like this: - They have come up with two suggestions that mesh well.
