🔍 What is Subject-Verb Agreement?
The verb in a sentence must match the subject in
number — that is, if the subject is
singular, the verb must be singular; if the subject is
plural, the verb must be plural.
> 💡 Tip: For most present tense verbs, add
-s or
-es to make them singular (e.g., “he runs”, “she eats”). Plural subjects usually take the base form (e.g., “they run”, “we eat”).
Also, watch for
past tense verbs — they often don’t change based on subject number (e.g., “I baked”, “She baked”, “They baked”).
And remember —
future tense with “will” doesn’t change (“I will go”, “He will go”, “They will go”).
