How do you talk about named groups of people correctly when it comes to singular/plural forms?
Which one would be correct from these?
1) "The Foobars is a four member band. It plays rock music."
2) "The Foobars are a four member band. It plays rock music."
3) "The Foobars is a four member band. They play rock music."
4) "The Foobars are a four member band. They play rock music."
What decides if I should refer to a named group in the singular or the plural? Is it okay to switch between the two, if so, in what circumstances?
- Árabe
- Inglês (EUA)
@Rev01Yeti: This depends on whether or not you are a reffering to them as a single entity (one band) or added components (the four members making up the band.)
