Heya Wr-lers
Sorry to bother the list with this, but I can't seem to find an answer in
my usual on-line grammar souces, and my mom (the former English teacher)
isn't home.

So, in the phrase "a set of rules that defines" does the verb "define" get
modified based on the singular noun "set"--making it "defines"--or based
on the plural noun "rules"--making it "define"?

...just some of the fun minutia that makes my job fun ;)
Grammatically,
Mandy
