A group saves, but I'd say a group of teenagers save. Bleys' quote would do nicely.

5. Do not be misled by a phrase that comes between the subject and the verb. The verb agrees with the subject, not with a noun or pronoun in the phrase.

It isn't any different in Britain; you're just incorrect.

Long live the EGG!

Doom, marry me.

The word group, as well as all collective terms, may be used to indicate either a collective itself as a whole, or all the members of the collective individually. Thus, depending on the intent in meaning of the person who uses the word, a verb suited either a singular noun or a plural noun may be used.

But, yeah, Britain really has nothing to do with it.

I'm not a grammar freak, so don't expect my way of speaking to change

I actually think it might be "a group of teenagers save."

"A group of teenagers saves" just doesn't sound right.

**Doomgaze** · 08-05-2003, 04:28 AM

It doesn't matter if it SOUNDS right or not. "A group of teenagers saves" is correct, quit your whining. Unless you are talking about something they all do individually, rather than as a group, you use the singular version of the verb.

I think this applies once again.

Hee-hee. It's funny 'cause it's true.

INCORRECT. YOU GET AN F!

**Yamaneko** · 08-09-2003, 08:59 PM

F for Fantastic!

Or fantabulous.

This thread should be moved to the Grammar Forum. Oh, wait...

**Doomgaze** · 08-10-2003, 05:02 AM

:O!

That's a BRILLIANT idea! Bleys, I demand that you make a Grammar Forum!

**Yamaneko** · 08-10-2003, 06:10 AM

There'd be only five people posting in it.
