Study Notes

Subject-Verb Agreement

Subject-verb agreement is a grammatical rule that ensures the subject and verb in a sentence match in number (singular or plural).
A singular subject takes a singular verb, while a plural subject takes a plural verb.

Examples of Correct Usage

"She runs every morning." (singular subject and verb)
"They run every morning." (plural subject and verb)

Common Errors

An incorrect example: "The group are meeting today." (incorrect: "group" is singular, should be "is")
Watch for collective nouns, which may take singular or plural verbs depending on context (e.g., "The team wins" vs. "The team are arguing among themselves").

Importance of Subject-Verb Agreement

Correct subject-verb agreement improves clarity and professionalism in writing.
Misalignment can confuse readers and diminish the credibility of the text.

Tips for Identifying Errors

Look for the subject and verb in sentences; ensure they correspond in number.
Pay attention to phrases that can alter the focus or pluralization of subjects, such as "along with," "as well as," or "together with."
