Let me provide one example from a local news:     "Essentially what happened is the state approved the same dollar   amount it did last year for the supplemental general fund"   My thinking is, the above, as well generally, is incorrect b/c of the verb-agreement rules -   and "what happened was" would be [more] correct, context depended obviously.  However,  based in somewhat equal google hits and in speech, I see a prevalent use of "what happened is..."  Please explain when it is correct and when it is NOT.

I'm having some issues with a sentence that is part of the purpose in a report that I'm writing. I'm not sure if the word "communicate" (in bold) should be singular or plural.  The applications in the "set" will communicate with each other, not with other "sets".     The purpose of this report is to develop a sample set of applications   that communicates between services on the internet, mobile devices   and a central processing unit in a motor vehicle.

What is the difference in the meaning of following sentences (I'm asking for detailed anlaysis of these sentences)   If it rains, I will stay at home. If it should rain, I will stay at home. If it should happen to rain, I will stay at home If it happens to rain, I will stay at home.  Can I say 'there is no difference in the meaning among 2 ,3 and 4 sentences ? There is no difference in the meaning and usage among 'should', 'happen to' or should happen to' together. Do they all mean 'by chance' ?   Again , i would like to know if the following sentences are grammatically correct or not:  1.If she should happen to read the newspaper, she would see your article.  2.If they should agree to come ,we would be delighted.

As a native speaker, how do these expressions in bold sound to you? Is there any difference in meaning between examples #3 and #4? If so what is it, and why is this so?

In response to the long-term measures recommended by the School Board,   the then Principal initiated the Pledge Day on “Clean LA", to encourage   all schools to make the “Clean LA” commitment on that day.   I wonder if it sounds better to replace the to-infinitive clause with a participle clause:      In response to the long-term measures recommended by the School Board,   the then Principal initiated the Pledge Day on “Clean LA", encouraging   all schools to make the “Clean LA” commitment on that day.   because I think it is seldom to use to-infinitive clauses after a comma.

A colleague asked me which of these sentences is correct, or if they are both correct which is better to use.   Are you using the current template version? Do you use the current template version?   I recommended using the first sentence but only because it sounds better to me.  Is there anything grammatically wrong with the second sentence or does it convey a different meaning to the first sentence?
