I need the rules about noun-verb agreement in mixed singular and plural nouns-sentences for British English. For example - "My sons and my daughter are playing in the garden now.", or "My sons and my daughter is playing in the garden now.". Which sentence is correct in this case and why? If the sentence is "My daughter and my sons are playing in the garden now." I am sure that it is correct. Is it the rule "The closest noun's form must agree with the verb in the sentence." is workable? Thank you in advance!
