➢ When we use uncountable noun as the subject of a verb, we use a singular form of verb.

eg:- The moon was shining in the sky.

➢ When the subject consists of  "one of + plural noun", the verb is singular.

eg:- One of the girls was singing.

➢ When a clause or a long group of words in the subject, we have to be careful to make the verb agree with the subject.

eg:- The chairs which I bought yesterday are very costly.

➢ When two or more nouns function as subject, plural verb is used.

eg:- My friend and his father are meeting us tomorrow.

eg:- Three kilometers is a small distance.

➢ The title of a book, the name of a house or a hotel in plural takes a singular verb.
