What is a singular subject?
The basic idea is: When the doer of the action in a sentence is one person or one entity, and the correct form of the action word is singular, then you have a singular subject.John plays the piano. John is the one person doing the action, and plays is the 3rd person singular form of the verb to play. John is the singular subject.The students play in a band. The subject is The students, and play is the 3rd person plural form of the verb to play.Antelope are beautiful ruminant animals.The plural of antelope can be antelope or antelopes. In this case, the verb form is plural. So the subject is plural, not singular.
