Is or are with names?

When stating your name, you're talking about one person which is you. Therefore, you must use a singular verb 'is' to introduce yourself as opposed to a plural verb 'are'. 2. “My names are” is wrong because the verb 'are' is conjugated for a plural noun phrase, whereas the noun phrase is singular.

Are names singular or plural?

Names are proper nouns, which become plurals the same way that other nouns do: add the letter -s for most names (“the Johnsons,” “the Websters”) or add -es if the name ends in s or z (“the Joneses,” “the Martinezes”).

Is it there is 2 or there are 2?

Use there is when the noun is singular (“There is a cat”). Use there are when the noun is plural (“There are two cats”).

When both is or are?

What is correct, “both is correct” or “both are correct”? “Both” is a plural pronoun, so it requires the verb form “are.”
