I saw this on your twitter “Taking naps sounds so childish. I prefer to call them horizontal life pauses.” isn't it supposed to be "Taking naps SOUND so childish" ? please correct me if I'm wrong
No. Here's why: the subject of the sentence isn't "naps." It's actually "taking" (a gerund). Since "taking" is a singular noun, it requires "sounds."
Here's another example: Smoking cigarettes IS bad for your health. (The subject is "smoking," not "cigarettes.")
