I've been looking for the specific rule on 'series', but as of yet haven't found the source I was thinking of.
The closest I can get online is a link from an old Encarta source.
Series can be a singular or a plural noun, depending on its meaning. When it is used to refer to a single set of things, it takes a singular verb even if it is followed by the preposition of and a plural noun: A series of medical tests is planned for next week. When series refers to two or more sets of things, it takes a plural verb: Three series of medical tests are planned for next week.
Anyway...just more words for thought. |
