Simple Grammar Help - [Rn] 7s^2 - Jun 9, 2018
"A glass of beer, a Hollywood movie on TV, and inconstant rain bring back that nostalgic mood."
In the above sentence, should it be "bring back" or "brings back"?
RE: Simple Grammar Help - Steve - Jun 9, 2018
It should be 'bring' since you're referring to a group of things (plural). For example, you would say "they bring back".
When you're referring to only one thing you would say 'brings'. For example, you would say "that brings back".

Exactly. I am referring to a group, more than 1 things.
That's what I thought too. Thanks, Steve.
I don't know why my friend, George from UK, says that both works.

It's definitely bring without an s since you're referring to more than one thing. Otherwise it sounds silly. Cheers.
