> -----Beginning of the citation----- > Historical opinion is now split. Some scholars think > that the lack of contemporary accounts of Arthur mean > he is a later invention. > ----- The end of the citation ----- > 1. What about the absence of article before "Historical opinion"? > 2. why do they write "mean" instead of "means"? Not sure on #1. However, #2 I believe is because "mean" is the plural form, in this case "lack of accounts mean." Accounts is plural, so mean is also plural. If the sentence said "lack of a contemporary account," the writer would have used "means" instead as account is singular. At least that is how I was taught it. |
