Make the verb agree with the head of a long subject

Questions in this subject are always in English
The text is what is being learned, so translating it would change the exercise. Explanations still follow your chosen language.

Follow this one with me, a step at a time. Try to guess each step first.
Worked example 1

Report The views of the student representatives ___ in the final report.

Remember: Cover the words between the main noun and the blank. What is the sentence really about?

Common mistakes

  • Matched the verb to the noun next to it. It must agree with the main noun at the start of the subject.
  • Mixed up 'the number of', which is one thing, and 'a number of', which means several.
