Flashcard 16 - Writing Flashcard Set for the U.S. Citizenship Test

The u in United should be capitalized, and there should be an s at the end of live.

Be careful to capitalize the names of important people and places, which will generally be proper nouns. Also, watch out for the tense of verbs in the sentences you write. The verb live is used for more than one subject, whereas lives is used for only one subject. In this sentence, the President of the United States is a singular subject because it refers to a specific person. If the examiner says “lives,” be sure to put an s at the end.
