funds were received vs Funds was received

The correct phrase to use is "funds were received." In English, the verb "to be" (in this case, "were") should agree with the plural noun "funds." Therefore, the correct form is the plural "were" instead of the singular "was."

funds were received

This phrase is correct. In English, the verb should agree with the plural noun "funds," so the plural form "were" is used.

Examples:

  • Funds were received from various donors.
  • The funds were received on time.
  • All the funds were received as expected.
  • These funds were received last week.
  • Many funds were received for the project.

Alternatives:
