What are "cleft sentences"?
July 28, 2019
"What I like the best is some novels" is correct, but it is an awkward sentence. Better would be, "What I like best is reading novels", or "What I like best is romantic novels".
The verb should be singular because the subject is the (one) thing that you like best.
