| Re: is Money singular or plural, any rules? Welcome, jianchiwei.  [1] Money is not everything. => Money is the subject; it's singular, so its verb is singular. [2]He and his money are soon gone. => The subject is He and his money, two nouns, so the verb is plural. Money is singular. Does that help? |

| Re: is Money singular or plural, any rules? One rule is that sums of money are singular. Two hundred dollars is more than I can afford. |
