Step 3: Learning about subject and verb agreement

Basic Principle: Singular subjects need singular verbs; plural

subjects need plural verbs.

For example: My brother is a teacher. My sisters are

mathematicians.

The subject of a sentence must agree with the verb of the sentence.

How do they agree?

They must agree in two ways: in number: singular vs. plural, in person: first, second,

or third person.

We all know these meanings of "agree," but when we talk about subject-verb

agreement; we're talking about something different: matching subjects and verbs

according to number. That is, when you have a singular subject, you have to match it

with a singular verb form: The boy plays

. When you have a

plural subject, you must

have a plural verb form: The boys play.

In short, simple sentences, you should have no problem with agreement. You can hear

the problem: The boys plays. When it's wrong, it just sounds funny.

Step 4: Summarizing subject and verb agreement
