Editorials are plural. But if we use "former" to stand for "editorials", should we use "carries" or "carry"? Thanks. |
I am confused too. If you read my original sentence, you will see I used "carries" and "presents" first before considering "carry" and "present". I automatically typed "carries" and "presents" without thinking too much. Then my grammar crept in and I started having doubts about my own choice. My hunch is "carries" is right, but I am not sure now.
