we can find such usage like "The last 5 years has seen a lot of exciting changes at the Mercer Public Library" on google.
ALSO, you can find "Even in India, the last 2 years have seen a lot of international and local..."(
I am not sure if "have seen" or "has seen" is more adequate usage.
Thank you.
For time and money use singular.
It's late. I'm bookmarking this so I'll remember to come back to it.
I have seen
He has seen
It's like I am
you are
he is
The word changes depending on subject.
Thus:
...years (pl.)...have seen (pl.)...
...However, you could say "the last two years has seen" and be correct, but then you would be talking about a singular period of time including the last two years, and thus using a singular verb.
Stumble It!
