singular verb conjugation with plural adjective?

Jangir G.A2Kwiziq Q&A regular contributor

On est très proches, ma sœur et moi. On est gentils.

Here we have est with proches/gentils. Is it a general rule?

Chris W.C1 Kwiziq Q&A super contributor Correct answer

Yes, this is a general rule. On requires the verb in 3rd person singular and any participle or adjective in plural.
