A reader wanted to know if this sentence contained correct grammar:
"Playing music games requires an intense focus on the separate elements of a song..."
He was mostly interested in knowing if "requires" was the correct verb. The answer is yes.
Here are some other examples:
Singing in the shower is fun.
Singing songs in the shower is fun.
It becomes plural if you have an "and":
Singing and dancing in the shower are fun.
I'd like to add that one should mind compound or plural subjects that are used as a single object/collection.
ReplyDeleteThough I agree with your "singing and dancing" sentence, it does remind me of other misleading singular sentences, such as "ham and eggs" and "horse and buggy."
