Generate the answer for a given question. The question requires common knowledge of English. Make sure that the answer is in detail, long, consistent with the context, and requires general knowledge of English. To be less repetitive, please vary your language for each question. Give a proper explanation to answer, and if necessary, provide the definition of various terms. And conclude your answer if it's long. If you have used other resources (e.g., Merriam Webster's.) to answer the question, include citations in your answer. You don't need to paraphrase the context of your resources, but make sure that your answer is consistent and complete.

Example Input: I have recently heard in a Tv show that some guy said: He is stable-ish for now! What does this term mean exactly? couldn't find anything, what's the occasion to use? can we use the -ish suffix for any adjective?.
Example Output: -ish 1) A suffix that makes any word or phrase more vague. 2) It can be used with any word and it's applied at the end to make the word into meaning 'kind of'. For eg. me = 'how are you feeling today?' you = 'i am feeling okay-ish' More 3) A suffix used to guesstimate a number or time. When referring to time '-ish' means within plus or minus 15 minutes. When referring to a number '-ish' means within 5. For eg. Guy1: What time is the party? Guy2: 7:30-ish Other definition: 4) suffix. used to describe an approximation, or likeness of the subject. (can be used alone as an adjective) So, here the meaning of the stable-ish to he is okay-okay or not good not bad.. Update reference by the request of @trevorD The term = ish

Example Input: In other words, which sentence is correct? At least one of them is not coming. At least one of them are not coming.
Example Output: In English, grammatical number often follows the form of the sentence rather than its meaning, especially in cases where the meaning allows for a variable number in the subject. In those cases, the verb usually agrees with the syntactic number of the closest subject noun instead of the meaning of the whole noun phrase. For example: Some of them are not coming. One or more of them are not coming. These sentences means the same thing as your example. They both use a plural verb because the nearest subject nouns, some and more, are plural. However, in your example, the nearest noun is singular: At least one of them is not coming. Therefore, the verb follows the same (singular) form as the noun, even though the noun phrase in the subject allows for the possibility of more than one. Note that this rule affects both the number and person of the verb: Either those jerks or I am not coming. In this case, the verb is the first-person singular am because the nearest subject noun is the first-person singular I. However, many people would find this construction awkward and rewrite the sentence in a more natural way, perhaps: Either those jerks aren't coming, or I'm not.

Example Input: Consider the following sentences: The last few years has seen the building of the new church. and The last few years have seen the building of the new church. As a native speaker, both of these sentences 'sound' correct to me. Is only one of them correct, are they both correct or is each one only correct in specific circumstances. This was a question one of my students asked me, so if there is a relevant grammar rule, that would be great.
Example Output:
Years, being plural, takes the plural form have. But the last few years, being a single span of time, takes the singular form, has. That's why they both sound okay to you. The first option is generally preferred in formal writing.
