The grammar is completely fine there... unless I'm missing something. "The crowd is cheering" implies it's one person, one thing, when it's not. There are multiple people in the crowd, so it's right to be "the crowd are cheering".

It sounds right..? :facepalm1:

:haha: I didn't say if it was wrong or right, I just said that I believe she is referring to that part.

The word "Is" is used when a subject is singular, and "Are" is used when a subject is plural. So yes, the crowd is a plural entity and the use of are would be correct.

It is all correct, though I would use some commas in place of those full stops.

Is still correct if they add a S to crowd.
