This document discusses subject-verb agreement in English grammar. It explains that verbs must agree with their subject in number, whether singular or plural. Compound subjects can be composed of multiple nouns, pronouns, noun phrases or clauses, and the verb must agree with the subject as a whole. Examples are provided to demonstrate singular and plural subjects taking the correct verb form. References include the Oxford Dictionary definition of subject-verb agreement.
