Dear Dr.

I'm one of your student's at KFU, E-learning deanship, however i saw lecture 1 few hours ago and i think you have made a mistake, i hope not?

In the slide titled "Find and correct the mistakes" the 6th sentence is obviously wrong which is "Everybody working hard every day.. etc" and you had corrected it as "Everybody work hard every day.. etc" but i think the accurate correction is "Everybody works hard every day.. etc" because the subject in the sentence is singular not plural, and i did a research about this just to make sure and it seems that i had my point right?

Please have a quick glance at these links:

1- http://grammar-and-composition.yoexp...lural-188.html

2- Read rule no.8 (http://www.grammarbook.com/grammar/subjectVerbAgree.asp)

3- Read the last line listed under point 8 (http://netgrammar.altec.org/Units/Un...c4_201000.html)

Please don't get me wrong, I'm not trying to underestimate you, I'm just trying to put things in place here for my own knowledge, so kindly clarify whether I'm right or wrong.

Thanks,
Nabeel

Yes you are correct! I always do these misrakes on purpose to check those who really follow me and understand the lectures fully then in the next live session I talk about these sentences and correct them!
To your surprise you are the first one to spot this although the course has been given to four different groups in the past two years
Good and excellent job keep it up!

All the best!
