Remember!
- Subject-verb agreement means that the subject and verb of a sentence should match in number, person, and gender.
- Number means whether the subject and verb are singular or plural. For example:
The dog barks. (singular subject and verb)
The dogs bark. (plural subject and verb) - Person means whether the subject and verb are first, second, or third person. For example:
I run. (first person singular subject and verb)
You run. (second person singular subject and verb)
He runs. (third person singular subject and verb)
We run. (first person plural subject and verb)
You run. (second person plural subject and verb)
They run. (third person plural subject and verb) - Gender means whether the subject and verb are masculine, feminine, or neutral. For example:
He is happy. (masculine singular subject and verb)
She is happy. (feminine singular subject and verb)
It is happy. (neutral singular subject and verb) - Compound subjects are two or more subjects joined by a word such as and, or, either/or, neither/nor. For example:
Jack and Jill went up the hill. (compound subject with and)
Either Jack or Jill will go up the hill. (compound subject with either/or) - Indefinite pronouns are words that do not refer to a specific person, place, thing, or idea. For example:
Someone left their phone here. (indefinite pronoun as subject)
Nobody knows the answer. (indefinite pronoun as subject) - Subject-verb inversion is when the order of the subject and verb is reversed, usually for emphasis or to form a question. For example:
In the garden grows a rose. (inverted sentence for emphasis)
Are you ready? (inverted sentence to form a question) - Subject-verb agreement with phrases such as along with, as well as, etc. means that the verb should agree with the main subject of the sentence, not with the phrase that comes after it. For example:
The teacher, along with the students, is going on a field trip. (singular verb agrees with singular subject teacher, not with plural phrase along with the students)
