  3. Welcome to the Show!!! Host : Ke’Airis White Teams: #TeamNewsom #TeamEng 1020

  4. TOSS • #TeamEng1020 lands on Subject-verb agreement • He reminds the group that this is the jack point ! • Hint • Singular means just one • Plural means more than one. • Match up singular subjects to singular verbs like (he or she) & plural subjects to plural verbs like (they) with a example or examples! Assistant: Jack Flamingo

  5. #Teameng1020 • Voice of Amanda Brewer : “A Subject verb agreement?” ummm…. • Voice of Victoria Banks : “The team of the Americans were the Best in the tournament.” • Voice of Jack Flamingo : “ I am sorry but you are incorrect you have one more chance!” • Voice of Ungel Powers: “The collection of the document from the revolution were stolen.”

  6. #teamnewsom “My family has never been able to agree.” Collective nouns are words that imply more than one person but that are considered singular and take a singular verb, such as group, team, committee, class, and family. “Five dollars is a lot of money.” The word dollars is a special case. When talking about an amount of money, it requires a singular verb, but when referring to the dollars themselves, a plural verb is required.

  7. Closing Remarks • General Rule: A singular subject takes a singular verb, while a plural subject takes a plural verb • Note: The trick is knowing weather the subject is singular or plural. The next trick is recognizing a singular or plural verb.
