SINGULAR IN MEANING

Domain	Definition
Tips from 1870	Usage: Singular in Meaning. Nominatives are sometimes plural in form but singular in meaning. Such nominatives require a verb in the singular. "The philosopher and poet was banished from his country." Was is correct, because philosopher and poet are the same person. "Ambition, and not the safety of the state, was concerned." Was is correct, because ambition is the subject. The words, "and not the safety of the state," simply emphasize the subject, but do not give it a plural meaning. "Truth, and truth only, is worth seeking for its own sake." Another case of emphasis. Source: Slips of Speech.
