| Aug 2, 2014 at 15:52 | comment | added | Edwin Ashworth | This question appears to be off-topic because it is predicated (non-grammatical sense) on a false premise. | |

| Aug 2, 2014 at 15:01 | comment | added | SrJoven | The title asks one question, but the body is irrelevant to the title, as @PeterShor stated. s/Depending on whether/If/ and change the title. | |

| Aug 2, 2014 at 14:02 | comment | added | Edwin Ashworth | There is the possibility of 'occur' being used as subjunctive here, compare for example 'depending on whether he be a philosopher or a poet'; '... depending on whether he like ...'; '... depending on whether he make the All Blacks ...' [internet]. Perhaps subjunctive fanatics would demand it? | |

| Aug 2, 2014 at 13:42 | comment | added | Sinusx | Since "a birth or a death" is singular, one should use the singular form, right? | |

| Aug 2, 2014 at 13:14 | comment | added | Peter Shor | The plurality of the verb has nothing to do with "whether", but with whether the subject, "a birth or a death", is singular or plural. So see this question. | |
