These words are used in a more formal setting and the error in the sentence can be seen by the word "are".
Why is the use of "are" incorrect in the sentence?
- Because "are" is used for plural pronouns.
- Because "are" is related to the noun "sought," which is singular.
When a sentence is to be written, all the words must be in verbal and nominal agreement. This means that all words must agree with each other in gender, number and degree.
This means that if a word is in the singular, the words related to it must also be and it is at this point that the sentence shown in the above question is wrong because the word "sought" is in the singular, but the word "are" that relates her is in the plural.
Also, "sought" is a noun that replaces the pronoun "it" that must be associated with the "is" form of the verb "to be" and not with "are."
