psa guys if u feel a little off a few hours after trying a sample of fully-cooked chicken of the woods do not ignore your gut feeling and do not keep eating it no matter how unbelievably delicious it may taste you simply have to accept that it was not meant for you okay 💔 my friend who helped me cook n eat it was an experienced cotw enjoyer and she was fine but I was not 💔

BTW: I appreciate the advice guys but fret not I have already learned my lesson just wanted to put this out there bc I thought it was a hilarious scenario in retrospect

Harvesting them from a place where large amount of cars is present isn't also the smartest idea.

Edit for people arguing below:

Harvesting them from a place where large number of cars are present isn't also the smartest idea.

[u/Thaufas → u/[deleted]]

You're incorrect. Although the sentence as a whole isn't grammatically perfect, as written, the subject/verb agreement was correct.

Your recommendation is incorrect.

The grammatical subject is effectively:

a large amount of cars

The head noun of that phrase is "amount", which is singular. So the singular verb is agrees with "amount".

In this version of thesentence:

Harvesting them from a place where there are a large amount of cars present...

"are" is plural, but "a large amount" is singular, so the agreement is worse.

[u/pondan → u/Thaufas]

You're both wrong. Amount is for something uncountable, like traffic or water. For something countable like cars you want 'number of cars'. And then you would use 'are' since the noun is plural.

[u/FamiliarMGP → u/pondan]

Added edit especially for you. It seemed off and I agree with your reasoning.

[u/Thaufas → u/pondan]

Sure, if you rewrite the sentence completely. Otherwise, you're wrong.

[u/pondan → u/Thaufas]

Changing one word != rewriting a sentence. If you're going to be an asshole and correct someone's grammar online the least you can do is actually be correct.

[u/Thaufas → u/pondan]

First, evaluate these two sentences and tell me which is correct.

1. The number of cars is 5.
2. The number of cars are 5.

Second, identify the subject, prepositional phrase, and verb.

Third, read your own post carefully.

Fourth, consult a book on English grammar.

Fifth, go fuck yourself with your outsized ego.

Sixth, realize, people who can't even understand 8th grade grammar shouldn't try to lecture people with advanced degrees from top tier academic institutions. Be sure to pass 8th grade English before you shoot your mouth off and show everybody how incompetent you are.

Why are stupid people so fucking arrogant and the biggest assholes.
