[Grammar] The Simpsons [has/have] three children.

[naweewra]

Hello,

Should the verb be in the singular or plural form after a family name?

"The Simpsons [has/have] three children."

Thank you.

Nawee

Have. In this case you are speaking of the couple (man and wife) and they have three children.
