A Grammar Question

[Stojakapimp]

So I have this flyer from my college about some frat party thing, and on the flyer it says "Remix in Association with Pi Alph Phi (UCSD) Bring you an Unforgettable night." Now when I first read this, I thought that maybe it should be "Brings" instead of "Bring" because it sounded better, but one of my friends pointed out that the subject is Remix and Pi Alpha Phi, in which case it's plural so verb should be singular. But then I thought, wouldn't the main subject be Remix because "in Association with Pi Alpha Phi" should be set apart by commas? Cause if they both are the subjects, then shouldn't it read "Remix and Pi Alpha Phi Bring you?" This just got me really confused so any help would be great.

"Remix" is the subject, "in association with..." is a prepositional phrase modifying the subject. Should be "brings".

What Pip said without the fancy words.

 

[Passions]

yes, it should be brings. Remix is the subject.

In the US, you will see "Acme presents the new bird trap!"

In the UK, you will see "Acme present the new bird trap!"

You should go and get wasted, and not worry about spelling.

Pip is right, and explained correctly why to boot.

It's remix . . . brings you . . .

Man, forget about that stupid party. They don't even know friggin' English grammar. It's gonna suck.
