Good evening to everybody out there!
I would be very grateful if you could help me here 'cause I've got a problem with the subject-verb-agreement in the following sentences:
There are three types / kinds of parents.
a) The first type / kind are the parents who always take their child to school by car. [...]
b) The first type / kind is the parents who ..... [...]
c) Type one are the parents who....
d) Type two is the parents who....
I'm aware of the fact that you could easily change "parents" into "parent" and thus avoid that problem, but I'd like to find out whether the sentences 2 and 4 are okay or not. To me they sound very odd...
Thanks in advance!
