(1) Statistics from recent research suggests that humor in the workplace relieves job-related stress. (2) Reduced stress in the workplace in turn reduce illness and absenteeism. (3) It can also ease friction within an employee group, which then work together more productively. (4) Weinstein Associates is a consulting firm that hold workshops designed to make business people laugh. (5) In sessions held by one consultant, each of the participants practice making others laugh. (6) “Isn’t there enough laughs within you to spread the wealth?” the consultant asks the students.(7) She quotes Casey Stengal’s rule that the best way to keep your management job is to seperate the underlings who hate you from the ones who have not decided how they feel. (8) Such selfdeprecating comments in public is uncommon among business mangers, the consultant says.

Basicall, you need to figure out whether the subject noun is singular or plural and then make its verb agree. Does that make sense? See below and good luck…..
Statistics ….suggest
Reduced stress…. reduces
Employee group…. works
A firm…holds
Each participant practices
Aren’t there enough laughs
7 looks OK to me, too…
Such comments are uncommon
Nouns ending in ‘s’ are more often than not plural nouns and vice versa. Verbs ending in ‘s’ are more often than not singular verbs and vice versa.
1) Statistics = Subject = Plural // Suggests = Verb = Singular Correct use of the verb would be ‘suggest.’
2) Stress = Subject = Singular // Reduce = Verb = Plural
Correct use of the verb would be ‘reduces.’
get the idea?
Say them out loud and you’ll hear what’s wrong.
WRONG : Reduced stress in the workplace in turn reduce illness and absenteeism.
RIGHT : Reduced stress in the workplace in turn reduces illness and absenteeism.
