Last updated: March 27, 2024

I with my family was in the city centre

This phrase is correct. The subject "I" is singular, so the verb should also be singular ("was").

Use this phrase when referring to yourself and your family being in a specific location. Ensure that the verb agrees with the singular or plural nature of the subject.

Examples:

  • I with my family was in the city centre when we saw the parade.
  • I with my family was at the park yesterday.
  • I with my family was on vacation last week.
  • I with my family was at the museum this morning.
  • I with my family was at the beach all day.

I with my family were in the city centre

This phrase is incorrect. The subject "I" is singular, so the verb should also be singular ("was"), not plural ("were").
