Question

two and two make four correct the sentence

Answer 1

If the subject is singular, the verb used is also singular. For instance,

The baker bakes a cake.

If the subject is plural, the verb used is also plural. For instance,

The bakers bake a cake.

Hence, the sentence ‘Two and two makes four.’ is a grammatically incorrect sentence as the singular verb ‘makes’ does not agree with the plural compound subject ‘two and two.’

The sentence ‘Two and two make four’ is a grammatically correct sentence as the plural verb ‘make’ agrees with the plural compound subject ‘two and two’.

Answer 2

'Two and two make four' is a grammatically correct sentence.

• A grammatically correct sentence should be error-free without any spelling mistakes.
• The subject should be in agreement with the subject-verb agreement rules.
• If the subject is singular then the verb must be singular and vice versa.
• Here the subject is compound, therefore the verb is plural which is grammatically correct.
