Rule ⇒ Ensure that the verb agrees with the true subject and not with an intervening plural object of a preposition or any other intervening plural. Here, the true subject is Location or locations. So the verb ‘matter’ will take the form depending on ‘Location’ or ‘locations’. When subject ‘location’ is used, verb ‘matters’ will be used and when subject ‘locations’ is used, verb ‘matter’ will be used.
