Wait, what exactly is this? The mystery meat isn't moving, but it looks highly suspicious. The mashed potatoes are glowing slightly in the dark. I am definitely ordering a pizza tonight instead!
The mystery meat isn't moving, but it looks highly suspicious.
"Mystery meat" is a singular uncountable noun (it), so it takes the singular negative verb "is not" or "isn't".
The mashed potatoes are glowing slightly in the dark.
"Potatoes" is a plural noun (they), so it requires the plural verb "are".
I am definitely ordering a pizza tonight instead!
The pronoun "I" always pairs with the verb "am" in the present tense.
