Study Notes

In English, subject-verb agreement is a rule that must be met for a sentence to be complete and effective. This rule states that the subject and verb in a sentence must be in agreement in person and tense. For example, if the subject is "I" or "He/She/It" in the sentence, the verb must be in the same person and tense as the subject.

There are four main types of sentences in English: declarative, interrogative, imperative, and exclamative The declarative sentence is used to make a statement, and its structure is as follows: subject + verb + object For example: "The girl lost her favourite doll." In this sentence, "The girl" is the subject, "has lost" is the verb, and "the favourite doll" is the object.

The subject-verb agreement rule is especially important in affirmative sentences, which are used to make a statement or to describe a fact. For example, "I have studied for the exam" In this sentence, "I" is the subject, "have" is the verb in the affirmative form, and "studied" is the past tense of the verb.

Subject-verb agreement is a complex rule that can be influenced by the tense, person, and polarity of the sentence. For example, in negative sentences, the verb must be in the negative form, such as "haven't" or "hasn't" For example, "I haven't studied for the exam." In this sentence, "haven't" is the negative form of "have" and "studied" is the past tense of the verb.

It is important to practice and master subject-verb agreement to make your writing and speech more effective and purposeful. This rule is especially important for students, as it can have a negative or a negative or a negative or a negative or a negative or a negative or a negative or a negative or a negative or a negative
