SPELL CHECK PLEASE

[CornishTeaTime]

Is it:

A. Everyone's participation and enthusiasm were outstanding
B. Everyones participation and enthusiasm were outstanding

A. Everyone's is possessive.

A

A but should be 'was' not 'were'

A and would also ‘was’ not ‘were’.

According to this

And this

https://www.grammarcheck.net/editor/

it's were.

I would have thought was but apparently my grammar is shite.

Thanks - yes it seems to be were not was

It's 'was' because in this case the participation and enthusiasm are parcelled together as the singular.

If they were separate items it would be 'were' e.g everyone's cakes, biscuits and sandwiches were outstanding.

Team was and Team apostrophe here!
