rite_strait  +  38232 Tue, 20 Jul 04 09:23 AM Hi, In the sentence: The content history of abc and xyz is shown in Figures 2 and 3. Is the usage 'is' and 'Figures'correct or should it be : The convergence history of abc and xyz are shown in Figures 2 and 3. Thanks rite_strait Joined on Tue, Jul 20 2004 New Member 01

"History" is a singular noun; it can be replaced by the pronoun "it". So the corresponding form of the verb "to be" (in the present) is "is": "The content/convergent history of abc and xyz is shown in Figures 1 and 2."
