Grammar Q.
“Along the side of the winding country road stretch a long line of pine trees and a low, crumbling stone wall covered with both moss and snow”
The answer seems to come intuitively to a good student. But I just want to make sure know what is being tested here (ie, why this version is incorrect).
Does, “a long line of pine trees and low, crumbling…….”, constitute a compound noun and therefore requires the plural “stretch”?
As always, your diligence is appreciated man.
