OT Grammar Experts: How often to use ‘are’ around ‘and’?

That sentence doesn't make any sense

Agreed, I can't imagine there isn't a better way to structure that - what's the context?

I was just using them as nonsense examples. Let me adjust them.

These sentences make no sense.

They are and are? Huh? You fixed nothing!

scottfruget is a TD poster and is from Louisiana.

OR

scottfruget is a TD poster and from Louisiana.

Which is correct?

Nm

Both are correct. What is important is parallel structure. Is...and (implied is) or is...and is. Both work

A Louisiana native, acottfruget is also a TD poster.
A Louisiana resident, scottfruget is also a TD poster.

quote:

---

They are known as a group of leaders and are most of the people remaining rom the village.

OR

"They" implies plurality, therefore "and are" is appropriate. Another way to write that sentence would be:

"The group is known as leaders and is believed to comprise of most of the people remaining from the village."

In the second sentence, "the group" implies a single group of people. Therefore, "is" would follow.



You wouldn't say "they is" or "the group are". Well, some people say that but not if they have an education.
