Study about "Subject Verb Agreement"

1. If the subject is singular, the verb must be singular too.

a. She writes every day.
2. If the subject is plural, the verb must also be plural.
a. They write every day.
3. When the subject of the sentence is composed of two or more nouns or pronouns
connected by and, use a plural verb.
a. Shanthan and meene every day.
4. When a phrase comes between the subject and the verb, remember that the verb still
agrees with the subject, not the noun or pronoun in the phrase following the subject of the
sentence.
a. The student with all the master’s degrees is very motivated.
5. When two or more singular nouns or pronouns are connected by "or" or "nor," use a
singular verb.

6. Noncount nouns take a singular verb
a. Education is the key to success.
b. Corona affects many people around the world.
7. In sentences beginning with "there is" or "there are," the subject follows the verb. Since
"there" is not the subject, the verb agrees with what follows the verb.

b. .
8. Collective nouns are words that imply more than one person but are considered singular
and take a singular verb. Some examples are "group," "team," "committee," "family," and
