	Anonymous  #535730  Wed, 02 Jul 08 12:46 PM What about the sentenses using "and" or "or", such as: If you or your staff (have or has) any questions, then please contact me. then which do you use? __ The answer is "has"- because the subject is singular. It refers only to either "you" or "your staff". Now, if your subject is " you and your staff" instead of "you or your staff", the correct verb to use is "have". ex: If you or your staff ( has) any questions, then please contact me. If you and your staff (have ) any questions, then please contact me.    Anonymous

	Grammar Geek  #535796  Wed, 02 Jul 08 01:33 PM Just a note: While "staff" may be singular to you, and it usually is to me, it's one of those nouns that can take a plural if you are thinking about the staff as a collection of individuals.    Grammar Geek Joined on Tue, Jan 10 2006 Pennsylvania, USA Veteran Member (15,541) Barbara, who answers in American English.
