21 Boost your Knowledge.

To increase your understanding about the subject and verb agreement, let us learn
the following. *click*
22 Let start by defining the following words.

A sentence has a subject and a predicate. *click*

23
Subject (noun or pronoun)
- part of a sentence that contains the person or a thing doing the action.
*click*

24 Predicate (verb)
- is the part of a sentence, or a clause, that tells what the subject is doing or
what the subject is. *click*

25

Noun
- is a word that names something, such as a person, place, thing, or idea.
Nicole, Church, Christmas, Dog. *click*

26 Verb
_ are words that show an action or state of being.
such as: walk, run, sleep, sing.
*click*

27 Now let’s look on this sentence.

Maria cooks in the room.
*click*
28 Can you tell me the subject in this sentence?
The subject is Maria.
How about the verb?
*click*
29 How about the verb?
the verb in the sentence is cooks. *click*
30 Next, sentence
My sister likes ice cream. *click*
31 The subject is sister and the verb is likes. *click*
We can make a sentence with just a noun and a verb or a pronoun and a verb.
*click*
32 Examples:

Jose paints.
(noun) (verb)
He/She/It walks.
(pronoun) (verb)
Lions roar.
(noun) (verb)
I/ We/You/ They speak.
(pronoun) (verb)
*click*
33 The noun or pronoun subject and the verb in the predicate must always agree with
each other. This is called subject-verb agreement. *click*
34 Study the following subject-verb agreement charts:

Subject Predicate

Singular noun Verb: -s form

Mary walks
hero leads

Pronoun: Verb: -s form

He, She, It works

Plural noun: Bae/simple form of a

Jane and Mary verb
heroes walk
march
Pronoun: Base/Simple form of a
I, You, We, They verb
work, honor

If the subject is a singular noun like Mary, it takes the verb -s form in the
predicate.
If the subject is a singular pronoun like He, she it, it takes the verb -s form in the
predicate.
If the subject is a plural noun like Jane and Mary, heroes, it takes the base/simple
form of the verb
If the subject is a I and You and plural pronoun like We , they, it will also take the
base/simple form of the verb

*click*
35 Other forms include the following form
1. be form : am, is (present, singular)
are (present, plural)
was (past, singular)
were (past, plural)

36
2. have form : has (present, singular)

*click*

37 3. do form: does (present, singular)

do (present, plural)
*click*
38 Other Rules on subject-verb Agreement
1. Indefinite pronouns like somebody, everybody, everyone, everything, anybody,
and nothing take singular verbs.

Example: Everybody comes early on Mondays. *click*

39 2. The subject pronouns I, you, we, and they take plural verbs.
Example;

40 The subject pronoun he, she, and it take singular verbs.

Example:

41 3. Mass or non-count nouns take the singular verb.

Example:

42 4. Collective nouns can take either the singular or plural verb depending on its
meaning. If the collective noun refers to one entity, it takes a singular verb.
Example:

43 If the collective noun refers to more than one entity, it takes a plural verb.
Example;
The team play in different tournaments. *click*
44 5. Some nouns end with -s but have singular meanings. Nouns such as the
following take the singular verb: civics, economics, mathematics, mumps, news, the
United States.
Example:

45 6. Some nouns always end with -s. They are plural nouns. Use a plural verb with
them. Such words are acoustics, ashes, athletics, clothes, fireworks, gymnastics,
scissors.

46 7. Some sentences have two or more subjects joined by and. These subjects take a
plural verb.

62 Lets start with the first question

1. How can we easily find the subject and predicate?

-To find the subject easily you just need to look for a noun or pronoun, and for the
predicate, the predicate contains the verb in the sentence.
*click*
63 2. Why is it important to use the subject-verb agreement?

- It is important because, without the use of subject and verb agreement, the
 reader of your sentence will be confused. To clear in the sentence who did the
action and what they did. Also, it is always a good idea to practice proper
grammar. *click*
64 3. How can we know which rules of subject-verb agreement to be applied in the
sentence?

-The most important thing to do is to find first the subject. If you know your
subject, whether it is a noun or pronoun, it would be easy for you to identify the
correct form of the verb to be used. *click*
65 That’s it.
Now, it would be easy for you to do the following activities that can be found on your
Learning packet. *click*
