"Jacob along with his parents are/is coming."
This is a questing of Syntax. According to the rule, we apply
verb according to the first subject. When two subjects are
connected with "along with", the correct verb should be 'is'.
Now, easier method is to translate the given sentence into
standard Hindi neglecting the respect with which we give in
Hindi language. It’s clear that the main subject is Jacob not
his parents so it is obvious that it should be definitely singular
i.e. 'is'.
Let’s take another example, there are two sentences as
follows:
i) "Fifty thousand rupees is/are a good amount."
ii) "Fifty thousand rupees is/are given to him."
Apart from the rules, let’s seek an easier way, translate these
into standard Hindi
Now suppose we have a sentence of narration.

"said to" into told and we will put the conjunction "that" and
