Question

two and two make four meaning of idioms and phrase and use them in sentence answer​

Answer 1

Answer:

Two and two makes four.

A formulaic representation will look like;

(Two and two) makes four. ‘Two and two’ is taken as a single unit and it's the subject-the single subject here.

Similarly, ‘(all work and no play) makes jack a dull boy.’

All work and no play’- though connected with the conjunction ‘and’-is taken as a single unit. Hence, the third person singular verb ‘makes’.

(‘Bread and butter’) is a tasty breakfast.

(This ‘gin and tonic’) isn't very strong.

In all the above examples, a group words connected by a conjunction is taken as a single unit and hence as a single subject as well.
