To solve the problem, we need to apply the rule of
subject-verb agreement. This means that the verb in a sentence must agree with its subject in number (singular or plural). Here's how to approach each sentence:
Rules for Subject-Verb Agreement:
1.
Singular Subjects: Use the singular form of the verb.
2.
Plural Subjects: Use the plural form of the verb.
3.
Third-Person Singular Subjects: Add an "-s" or "-es" to the base form of the verb (e.g., "asks," "disagrees").
4.
First-Person and Second-Person Subjects: Use the base form of the verb (e.g., "cook," "go").
