    Study Notes

    Subject-Verb Agreement

    • Subject-verb agreement ensures that the subject and verb in a sentence match in number (singular/plural).
    • A simple rule is that singular subjects take singular verbs, while plural subjects take plural verbs.
    • Example: "The dog barks" (singular subject and verb) vs. "The dogs bark" (plural subject and verb).

    Common Errors

    • Errors often occur when the subject and verb are separated by other words, leading to confusion.
    • Example of an error: "The team are winning." (Correct form: "The team is winning." because "team" is singular as a unit).

    Identifying Correct Sentences

    • Look for cues: phrases that separate the subject and verb can lead to mistakes.
    • Pay attention to collective nouns, which may appear plural but are treated as singular when acting as a single unit.

    Practice and Selection

    • Answer questions about subject-verb agreement by identifying phrases that correctly match subjects with their verbs.
    • Practice identifying correct and incorrect sentences to sharpen understanding of subject-verb agreement rules.
