Why can't we use "make" in this sentence?
How to cope when the news makes you feel depressed...
I found this sentence online but I am curious why we cannot use "make" here? Why is it makes when news is plural?
Solution 1:
Here is why: Even though there is a "s" in the word "news", it does not make the word "news" plural. Therefore it is a singular word, which has to be followed by "makes", instead of "make".
