All right eh Spiros number two a twelve survival instincts

00:07

on tv shows that places participants That's our focus here

00:13

Let's came down to it recently Been around popular tv

00:15

chun and training gonna question was about mingle Tune in

00:19

from the original survival show survivor to the many recent

00:23

spinoffs audiences have demonstrated endless interest in shows that places

00:30

participants in remote areas with very little supplies terrible writing

00:35

terrible Shmoop Well Some sentences bury their subjects not in

00:44

a six feet under kind of way but among the

00:46

other potential subjects which makes them difficult to find Subject

00:50

of the phrase in question here is shows it's the

00:53

shows that are doing the placing of the participants in

00:57

remote locations you might seem is though the subject should

01:00

be interest in shows But the audiences interest is not

01:04

the subject doing the placing the participants right now that

01:08

we've taken care of that issue it's time to address

01:10

the real issue subject verb agreement What verbs need to

01:14

agree with their subjects in gender number and tensed We're

01:18

not referring toe one show like in be there but

01:21

to multiple shows and the verb to place needs to

01:25

be in the present tense to match the rest of

01:28

the day Acid with a plural subject and verb combo

01:31

shows that place like see their satisfies these requirements So

01:36

that's our best choice in this sample of really terrible

01:39

writing So how would that read Well like this From

01:42

the original survival show survivor to the many recent spinoffs

01:45

audiences have demonstrated endless interest in shows that place participants
