Subject-Verb Agreement is a basic concept in the English Language we sometimes forget. A singular subject needs a plural verb in order to be correct; hence, a plural subject needs a singular verb. We should be careful when dealing with them. Here is a site that tackles Subject-Verb Agreement.
I like the title! :)

ReplyDeleteVery basic and very essential yet this is one of the common errors in English.
ReplyDelete"A singular subject needs a plural verb in order to be correct; hence, a plural subject needs a singular verb."
ReplyDeleteRevised:
"A singular subject needs a plural verb in order to be correct; on the other hand, a plural subject needs a singular verb."
"On the other hand" is more appropriate than "hence."
I agree with Kuya Mikko, the post has a very nice title. I read it as "AGREE WITH ME!!!" I couldn't help but laugh.
ReplyDeleteBy the way, i got confused when I read "A singular subject needs a plural verb". Yes, the verb almost always has an "s" at the end but does that make it plural? I'm not being sarcastic. Maybe it's something that i haven't been taught yet.
