| proximity concord |
| Definition - When a verb agrees with the nearest noun, rather than with the sentence's more distant subject. |
|
Example - (1) One of your friends are here. (This is an example of proximity concord because the verb is agreeing with the noun friends, not with the less-proximate singular subject one.) (2) One of your friends is here. (This is an example of grammatical concord because the verb is in proper agreement with the subject one.) |
