Incorrect - teacher

Correct - teachers

• Before serious business, 'a' should be used instead of 'the' in the first line. In the second line, saying is the correct word to use rather than say.
• Teachers should be used instead of teacher in the third line because 'are' comes after teacher. When deciding between is and are, we must consider what comes after it. Use is if the noun is singular. If the noun is plural or there are multiple nouns, use are.
