sat grammar question? have vs has?

<p>Hi i have a quick grammar question, which would be grammatically correct in this case, has or have?</p>

<p>Bobby, as well as the competition itself, (has or have) taught me to...</p>

<p>Thanks!</p>

<p>The sentence is a mess either way. If you insist on constructing the sentence in THIS way using THIS parenthetical info, then “has” is correct.</p>

<p>well i didn’t mean to have the parentheses there, it was just like choosing either has or have. How about this then. Both Bobby and the competition have taught me to…</p>

<p>

<p>This is better but probably still not optimal.</p>

<p>I’d need a little more to really help you.</p>

<p>Can you give me a sentence or two before AND after the part you’d like corrected?</p>

<p>In other words, give me 30 or 40 words (including the part you want fixed) so that I can better understand its context.</p>
