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.
