Johnny and an Error in Subject/Verb Agreement

Johnny Depp, along with his girlfriend Vanessa Paradis and their two children, are moving to an island in the Bahamas.

This sentence contains an error in subject/verb agreement.

The subject in this sentence is "Johnny Depp." The modifying phrase "along with his girlfriend Vanessa Paradis and their two children" is set off by commas and is not part of the subject. Ignore any modifying phrase or clause set off by commas between the subject and the verb. Consider crossing out the words between the two commas to make it easier to identify the subject and the verb. The verb in this sentence, "are," is plural and does not agree in number with the singular subject. To correct this error, make the number of the verb singular.

Johnny Depp, along with his girlfriend Vanessa Paradis and their two children, is moving to an island in the Bahamas.
