Subject-Verb

verb, while a plural subject takes a
plural verb.

Hint: Verbs that end with s are


singular.

2. We are ready for lunch now.

3. Children love playing.


.
COMPOUND SUBJECTS
2. Two or more subjects joined
by or or nor - the one closest to
the verb should agree with it.
1. Beth or Sam is going to win.

2. The girls or the boys are going to


win.
3. Liza,Jim, nor the twins are going to
win.

4. The twins nor Liza is going to win.


3. A compound subject joined by and
is generally plural and must have a
plural verb. However, If the subjects
connected by and refer to the same
person or thing or express a single
idea, use the singular or –s/-es form
of the verb.
1. Jenny and Rose are going to New York.

2. The boys and the girls perform on stage.

3. My brother and doctor in our family


makes sure that we take vitamins all the
time.
4. Peace and calm reigns over the country.
4. Plural-Looking Nouns: Nouns that are plural in
form but singular in meaning agree with singular
verbs.
Examples of plural- looking nouns:
news  Philippines
measles  the Netherlands
mumps  species
Mathematics  Economics
Physics  Aesthetics
Ethics  Calisthenics
