SUBJECT-VERB AGREEMENT


The subject in a sentence must always agree with the verb.

1. I and you take the plural verb. (Eventhough I mean singular but it is exceptional)
  • I jog at the park.

  • You pass the examination well.

2. A singular subject takes a singular verb. The verb ends with an s.
  • He watches television.

  • Jennifer cooks food at the kitchen.

3. Plural nouns take plural verbs.
  • We are doing homework.

  • They meet at the school hall.

4. Uncountable nouns take singular verbs.
  • The air is very fresh.

  • Salt is made from sea water.

5. Collective nouns take singular verbs.
  • A flock of birds is flying.

  • There is a glass of water on the table.
