“I teach a lot of students, and their writing and grammar is often much worse than this.”
Hey Professor, in the second phrase of this sentence, “writing” and “grammar” are both subjects, making the linking verb “to be” plural, and thus; “are”.
I know it was a slip, but it was highlighted in neon lights coming from you, so I just couldn’t resist. My mom was an English major, and she learned us how to talk real good.
