Subject-verb agreement is a grammatical rule that states that the subject and verb in a sentence must agree in number. This means that a singular subject should be paired with a singular verb, and a plural subject should be paired with a plural verb.
For example: - The cat sleeps. (singular subject “cat” paired with singular verb “sleeps”) - The cats sleep. (plural subject “cats” paired with plural verb “sleep”)
Subject-verb agreement can become more complex when dealing with compound subjects, indefinite pronouns, collective nouns, and other grammatical structures. It is important to pay attention to the number of the subject and choose the appropriate verb form to ensure subject-verb agreement.
