    • Example: Ram goes to the temple every day.
    • Example: They are painting the centre table.
  • The phrase 'many a/an' is used with a singular noun to refer to a large number of people or things.
  • It is followed by all singular parts of speech.
    • Example: Many a man has turned up for the ceremony.
  • In the given sentence, the use of the plural verb 'are' is incorrect.
  • So, 'are' should be replaced with 'is' in part B of the sentence.


Correct sentence: Many a student is nowadays going abroad for higher studies.
