Hello, I heard you can use "They" as a singular non-gender-biased neutral pronoun. So, can I say as follows? This is a good way not to interrupt someone before they finish es speaking and to speak after they does.

I would use #1. It sounds like a double plural, but 'series' is actually a singular noun.

It's actually quite common to use the singular verb with a block of time (as it is with a sum of money or a distance). Ten minutes isn't a long time. Three miles is too far to walk in this heat. One hundred dollars was a fair

Then, shouldn't we say "There are old developmentalism and new developmentalism " , as we say "There are thinking and visioning in activities." Or, are you suggesting only for "There is"

Each and one require a singular verb, which means that 1. and 2. are wrong. All can take a singula r or plural verb: All is well that ends well. All are present. CB

I got the wrong end of the stick. And what do you think about: “He is going to satisfy any caprice of hers”. Does this sentence sound OK? Not really. any is tricky. (I don't have to tell you that. ) As is every, along with not just any/not

CalifJim, thank you for your explanation. “Any” has turned out far trickier than I thought. Can you give me some examples with “poss. adjective + every + singular noun.”

Hi, what is the difference in these sentence,and how best to explain it to an audience. God answer to eternity. God answer for eternity. Neiether is grammatical as written. I assume you are using 'answer' as a verb,

And what do you think about: “He is going to satisfy any caprice of hers”. Does this sentence sound OK? Not really. any is tricky. (I don't have to tell you that. ) If any occurs after the verb, one of these things is often also present:

Can we use “any / every + possessive pronoun + singular noun”? No, but you can have poss. adjective + every + singular noun. CJ
