 Could you tell me how to describe the x and the y axis? My try: The y axis shows DJIA with the of 1000 to 12000, and x axis shows the year. Correct my sentence please. Thanks.

LiJ The x and y axis indicates the year and DJIA ranging from 1000 to 12000, respectively. /Sameer  Bangalore/Tokyo/Los Angeles/Manama Full Member 204Many of life’s failures are people who did not realize how close they were to success when they gave up.

Should it be 'indicate'? Osaka, Japan Senior Member 2,805Please feel free to correct any words I write. LiJ Bangalore/Tokyo/Los Angeles/Manama Full Member 204Many of life’s failures are people who did not realize how close they were to success when they gave up. Experiment it, Experience it and you'll Discover it! I feel "indicates" is right, because we intend to use simple present here. (Simple present is used for defining or explaining something).Thanks again! Sameer. Yes, I agree, but does 'indicates' agree with the subject 'x and y axis', even though the word 'axis' itself is singular? Or should it be 'axes' if you use 'indicate'? Osaka, Japan Senior Member 2,805Please feel free to correct any words I write. LiJ Good catch... it should be "axes" with "indicates". I have gone through some materials over the internet to verify this. Thank you Liveinjapan. Just try google-ing "x and y axes indicates" with the double quotes. /Sameer Bangalore/Tokyo/Los Angeles/Manama Full Member 204Many of life’s failures are people who did not realize how close they were to success when they gave up.
