Subject Verb Agreement

Subject-verb agreement is crucial for forming grammatically correct sentences. Ensure that the subject and verb of your sentence agree in number. Singular subjects require singular verbs, while plural subjects need plural verbs. Pay attention to action verbs that may require an additional "s" to ensure agreement. Listening to your sentences can help you determine what sounds correct. In this guide, we provide clear examples and practice exercises to strengthen your understanding of subject-verb agreement. Let's master sentence structure together!
