This year's annual excursion and our graduation ceremony are scheduled for January.
However, there are six rules when you must use a singular verb when working with compound-additive subjects
Rule #1: Use a singular verb when both elements of a compound-additive are synonyms.
The killing and slaying of innocent people as regards the war on terrorism is repugnant.
Rule #2: Use a singular verb when the meanings of the two elements of a compound-additive subject are so closely related that they overlapped.
The extent and degree of their crimes is unspecified.
Rule #3: Use a singular verb to emphasize the double nature of something or somebody
My boss and mentor lacks enthusiasm.
Rule # 4: Use a singular verb to express an idea as a single unit.
This nice and easy job is not appropriate for an experienced worker.
Rule # 5: Certain pairs of words are used as part of a single process. Use a singular verb for this type of compound-additive subject
The supply and demand of books on Amazon remain unchanged.
Rule # 6: When you use the adjective "every" or "each" before one or more nouns in a compound-additive subject, use a singular subject except when the pronoun "each" is used after the two or more nouns in a compound-additive subject.
Every nation and world organization has made allegations of human right abuses against this government.
The adults and children each are required to take the vaccine.
