    I like the quizzes. SENTENCE: The list of items is/are on the desk. QUESTION: Since "items" make the "list" plural should "is" be the only verb?

      Good question, Lisandro! Remember that "of items" is actually a prepostional phrase, so we would cross that out. The real subject of your sentence in this case is "LIST." Therefore, "list" agrees with "is." Does that make more sense?

Remember to use school-appropriate vocabulary in your comments and to always show respect for others' ideas and opinions. In addition, be sure that you clearly identify who you are with your first name and last initial in the post so that you get credit for your comment/response.
