7

<p>no, its for an essay im writing. i am facing that grammar problem…but i made up the above example.
i always get confused in this same area</p>

8

<p>“Clubs” is the subject of the sentence, and you are asking about the verb. Since the subject is plural, the verb should be too. Thus, the word you choose should be “make,” not “makes.”</p>

9

<p>It’s the second one. “Make” refers to both clubs and independent study, meaning its plural so make should not be. </p>

<p>She makes my day.
They make their bed.</p>

<p>And so on.</p>
