plural or singular
In one student's book I've seen a sentence:

"Then follows a 20 minute break and two single periods on History and French. "

Should not it be "follow" without -s ending as the subjest "a 20 minute break and two single periods" is plural?

Answer

it is follows because as a subject it is always follows, speaking in terms of events of the day.
ie Lunch follows after the presentation in the gym.
Then follows English and then Math.

They are speaking of different events following one another.

To speak of "follow" means how a person would follow the plan of the day.

I hope this helps!
