Hello,
I'm wondering why the author has used a plural aux verb [have] to refer to a singular entity [perspective]. The displacement of have and not is also my question. Could you help me?
The original post:
"Devin Way, who plays the jock heartbreaker Brodie, told me there “was no way we could cast people of color and the perspective not have shifted.”
My version:
the perspective not has shifted.”
the perspective has not shifted.”
