Note: When talking about an amount of money, dollars requires a singular verb; however, when referring to dollars generically, use a plural verb. Twenty dollars buys a pizza.

Is 10 dollars plural or singular?

Although "ten dollars" is theoretically a plural, it is treated as short for "The amount of ten dollars." "The amount" would be singular, so "[The amount of] Ten dollars is enough for the taxi ride."

Do you use is or are with dollars?

3 Answers. Both are used. The difference is whether the money is regarded as a singular thing, the price of a singular object, measured by the unit "dollars". Or treating the dollar as a plural noun.
