verb don’t change subject-verb agreement.

changed.
2. An old chair with broken legs has sat in our
basement for years.

4. Verb before subject
A verb agrees with its subject when the verb
comes before the subject. Words that may precede
the subject include there, here, and , in questions
what and where.
Examples

joining word, such as and.

subject closer to the verb.
