📏 English Grammar Rule #12 – Singular Verb for Quantities & Distances

In this lesson, we cover Grammar Rule #12, which explains why subjects that look plural can still take a singular verb.

When the subject (even if plural in form) denotes:

A specific quality

An amount of money, weight, time, or distance

Considered as a single unit


➡ The verb should be singular.

Examples in this video:
1️⃣ Three thousand miles is a long distance.
2️⃣ Ten pounds is enough for me.
3️⃣ Ten years is sufficient to complete this project.
4️⃣ Five hours is not much for outdoor work.
