  1. He and I must arrange our books. (The subject is first person plural.)
  2. Neither he nor his wife took her purse. (The pronoun agrees with the nearer subject, "wife".)
  3. None of the candidates has come. ("None" is treated as singular, meaning "not one"; "have" is also used by some writers.)
  4. He is one of the best leaders who have served the nation perfectly. ("who" refers to the plural "leaders".)
  5. Your windows need cleaning. (After "need", the gerund gives a passive sense; "need to be cleaned" means the same.)
  6. I can't understand her behaving like that. ("behaving" is a gerund, and "her" before it is the possessive.)
  7. He asked the reason for my coming. (Simple sentence.)
  8. Once upon a time a man owned a hen, and it laid a golden egg every day. (Compound sentence joined by "and".)
  9. She is working hard with a view to winning this competition. (The preposition "to" is followed by the gerund.)
  10. There are no fewer than thirty students in this class. ("fewer" is used with countable nouns.)
