Grammar girl says to check your mistakes you can circle the subject in your writing and underline the verb. Then you for get about every thing else written except the subject and the verb. Check and see if the subject and verb match and if they don't then you make corrections to your mistakes. Ex: Using these steps can come in handy when you're writing an important latter. Ex:You will not have to use these words if your writting letters to your friends in in class.

Here is the usage advice from the Writing Center for Washington State University Tri-Cities: Note: "The number of" is always singular. "A number of" is always plural. EXAMPLE: THE NUMBER OF voters IS increasing. A NUMBER OF voters ARE arriving to register. Hope this helps clarify. http://grammar.quickanddirtytips.com/subject-verb-agreement.aspx?commentid=15471#Comments http://grammar.quickanddirtytips.com/subject-verb-agreement.aspx?commentid=15471#Comments Fri, 23 Jan 2009 22:30:08 GMT detritus grammar Thanks for that comment Mike (4/18/2008).
