  3. SATISH

    @surajskt:disqus is this sentence correct?
    Three serious rail accidents in the last two months is not only a cause for serious concern but an indication of an alarming breakdown in systems that shape railway safety.
    i think ‘ARE’ should be used in place of ‘IS’

    1. Suraj

      Here THREE SERIOUS RAIL ACCIDENTS is considered as a single unit.. so the use of IS is justified….
      Example : Five years is the maximum sentence for that offense.
      here also 5 years is a single unit,, so is is used

      1. SATISH

        five years is special case. in case of time, amount we use singular .like 5 years, 5 kilograms
        but how can we know in such sentences that rail accidents is used in singular unit?

        1. Suraj

          by looking at the structure of sentence… sentence me kin rail accidents ki baat ho rhi hai?? jo ki in the last two months hue hai.. means writer unko ek sath dekh raha hai… isliye group.. for this understanding is required…no fixed rule

          1. SATISH

            thank you 🙂

  4. Sur(*-*)

    Thanks 🙂
