Grammar Points: Subject-Verb Agreement

Subject-verb agreement means that the subject of a sentence must match the verb in number. This means whether they are singular (one) or plural (more than one). Let’s break it down:

1. Singular Subjects and Verbs

   • Example: The cat runs fast.
     (In this sentence, "cat" is singular, so we use the singular verb "runs.")

2. Plural Subjects and Verbs

   • Example: The dogs bark loudly.
     (In this case, "dogs" is plural, so we use the plural verb "bark.")

Tips for Correction:

• First, find the subject of the sentence.
• Next, check if it is singular or plural.
• Finally, choose the right verb to match.

Practice Example:

Incorrect: The group of students are studying.
Correct: The group of students is studying.
(Remember: "Group" is singular, so we use "is.")
