What Is Was?

 

=     I do appreciate your feedback about the Mind Travel site.

 

=     For those of you whose “Strunk & White” rules of grammar lie at the bottom of black trunks in your memory banks, here is the operative rule of grammar:

 

=  The subject of the sentence is “A group” and “of 100 people” is a prepositional phrase.  The verb agrees with the subject:  A group was asked...not were asked.

 

=     Dangling modifiers anyone?
