Should I say “the rest is the same” or “the rest are the same”? Hi friends, In the following example, should I say “the rest IS the same” or “the rest ARE the same”? Is correct to say “remain / remains” the same? Which is more appropriate? I have changed only one paragraph of your report. The rest is the same. Thanks in advance, Niwantha

I agree with Bill. In this context, "the rest" means "the rest of the report" [rest is uncountable here]. In a different context, such as apples [countable], "the rest [of the apples] are the same" is correct.

In this context I prefer "The rest is the same", and I hear it as meaning "The rest of the report is the same."

If you are referring to multiple things, use “are”. If you are referring to one thing, use “is”.
