Subject Verb Agreement

Subject verb agreement refers to the fact that the

subject and verb in a sentence must agree in
number.
They both must be singular or they both must be
plural.
We can't have a singular subject with a plural
verb or vice versa.

Subject Verb Agreement Examples
Example: My sister sing/sings the blues at the rainbow
lounge.
The verb is singular if the two subjects separated by and
refer to the same person or thing.
Example: Red beans and rice is/are my mom's favorite
dish.
Subjects don't always come before verbs in questions. Make
sure you accurately identify the subject before deciding on
the proper verb form to use.
Example: Does/Do Lefty usually eat grass? Where are/is
the pieces of this puzzle.
