Question

The manager accompaned by his wife is/are arriving today the girl together with her parents was/were waiting for the bus

Answer 1

1. The manager accompanied by his wife is arriving today.
2. The girl together with her parents was waiting for the bus.

Answer 2

The correct verb forms for the sentences are:

• The manager accompanied by his wife is arriving today. ("is" is used because the subject "manager" is singular)
• The girl, together with her parents, was waiting for the bus. ("was" is used because the subject "girl" is singular)

Note that in the second sentence, the verb agrees with the subject "girl", which is singular, and not with "parents", which is plural.
