Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A subject must agree with its verb in number. The subject in this sentence (my coworkers and Sheila) is plural so we need a plural verb (are).
The trap here is that the subject is separated from the verb. When checking for subject-verb agreement, look at just the subject and the verb. Ignore everything else.
My coworkers and Sheila, who will arrive from Oslo tomorrow, are meeting next week.
