Aug 2, 2014 at 14:30	comment	added	Edwin Ashworth		@Jason C 'Singular you' takes the same verb-form as 'plural you'.
Jul 30, 2014 at 3:25	comment	added	Jason C		Can you add an example with a singular "you" as one of the subjects for completeness?
Aug 19, 2013 at 5:42	comment	added	Janus Bahs Jacquet		@supertonsky, disjunctive subjects means that there are more than one subject, and that they are separated by a conjunction that separates the subjects from each other, rather than putting them together in a group. In plain words, disjunctive subjects are separated by ‘or’, while conjunctive subjects are connected by ‘and’. With conjunctive subjects (“Both X and Y are going to do it”), the verb should always be plural because there is always more than one subject—the proximity rule cannot be used there.
Oct 23, 2012 at 7:45	comment	added	supertonsky		one last question, what exactly do you mean by disjunctive subjects?
Oct 22, 2012 at 16:53	comment	added	tchrist♦		@supertonsky Yes, always use proximity with disjunction.

Oct 19, 2012 at 16:14	comment	added	supertonsky		How disjunctive the subjects should be to consider they are indeed disjunctive enough to consider using proximity rule? Is it not right to just always use proximity rule in all cases?
