Subject+Verb+Agreement

Subject Verb Agreement

Subject and Verb agreement mean that both of them in a sentence should be singular or plural.

- Kate and Sara are going to the movies. Subject: Kate, Sara. Verb: are Rule # 1- If the subject contains "and," then the verb is plural.
 * Examples:**

-Kate or Sara is going to the movies. Subject: Kate, Sara Verb: is Rule # 2- If the subject contains "either/or" then look at the noun closest to the verb in the compound. If it is plural then use a plural verb and if it is a verb, use a singular verb. In the sentence above, the noun closest to the verb is "Sara." It is singular, therefore, there's a singular verb used in the sentence.

Tip- Singular verbs **end** in "s", Plural verbs **do not end** in "s".
