@. Will you please explain to my
class and me which verb Is correct
in such sentences as: His name
and address care? is?) as follows
John Jones and Jack Jones care?
is?) one and the same person?
A. In the first sentence there are
two subjects. name" and address.
The verb should be plural: His
name and address are as follows.
In the second sentence there are
also two subjects, John Jones" and
Jack Jones'" The fact that both
names are borne by one man Is be-
side the point dramatically for the
reason that, until the fact is ex-
planned, John Jones ana Jack Jones
are thought of as two men. There
fore, John Jones and Jack Jones
are one snd the same person.
Now there are times when two
subjects are properly treated as be-
ing singular and taking q singular
verb. Here is such a sentence
which was sent to me recently by
