Agreement Again! The "s" cannot go on both the noun AND the verb.

Car Bombings in Iraq Kill at Least 44 People and Wounds Dozens of Others, Police Say - AP

This subject/verb agreement error appeared in one of the headlines on the AT&T online home page on Tuesday, April 15. The subject of this sentence is "car bombings" with the "s" on "bombings" to show that the noun/subject is plural.

The first verb "kill" is correct. No "s" because the verb is plural. To indicate PLURAL, put the "s" on the subject, NOT the verb.

The problem is with the second verb "wounds." You cannot put an "s" on a plural verb. The "s" is already on "car bombings," the plural noun/subject.

The sentence should read correctly as follows:

Car Bombings in Iraq Kill at Least 44 People and Wound Dozens of Others, Police Say.

That said, I hope all of you will keep our American soldiers and the people of Iraq in your thoughts and prayers until this conflict comes to an end.
