Study Notes

Subject-Verb Agreement Overview

Subject-verb agreement refers to the grammatical rule that the verb must match the subject in number (singular or plural).
Singular subjects take singular verbs, while plural subjects take plural verbs.

Examples of Correct Subject-Verb Agreement

"The team is working hard for the upcoming match." (Team is considered a single unit)
"The group of students is going on a field trip tomorrow." (Group acts as a single entity)
"Each of the students is given a certificate for participation." (Each is treated as singular)

Key Considerations

Collective nouns (e.g., team, group) typically take a singular verb when acting as a unit.
The word "each" always calls for a singular verb, regardless of the noun it refers to.
Pay attention to phrases; the main subject determines the verb form, not intervening words.
