Question

Identify the grammatically correct use of "innings" (as in cricket):

• A. His innings was impressive.
• B. His innings were impressive.
• C. The innings have ended.

Answer 1

Answer:

A. His innings was impressive.

• "Innings" is a singular noun in cricket (despite the ‘s’). So we say "innings was", not "were".
