This document provides 15 rules for subject-verb agreement and examples of each rule. It explains that the subject and verb must agree in number, where a singular subject takes a singular verb and plural subject takes a plural verb. It discusses different situations that can cause confusion with subject-verb agreement, such as sentences beginning with "there" or compound subjects joined by "and". The document concludes with an activity asking the reader to choose the correct verb form for different subjects.
Reflexive pronouns are used when the subject and object of a sentence are the same person or thing.

Reflexive pronouns can also be used for emphasis, as in "I myself faxed the report to him." While reflexive pronouns reflect nouns, intensive pronouns like myself intensify nouns. A reflexive pronoun alone, such as herself, can mean "alone."
An affix is a letter or group of letters added to the beginning or end of a root word to change its meaning. Prefixes are affixes added to the beginning of a word, while suffixes are added to the end. Some common prefixes include un-, re-, dis-, and some common suffixes include -ed, -ful, -ness.

Homonyms can arise through convergent sound changes over time where words that were once pronounced differently develop identical pronunciations, or through divergent semantic development where the meanings of words split far apart over time. Synonyms are words of the same language and part of speech that have similar or identical core meanings, while antonyms are words of the same language and part of speech that
