The purpose is to help students observe and apply rules of subject-verb agreement in their writing.
Verb & subject verb agreement
The document discusses verbs and subject-verb agreement. It provides several rules to help identify verbs and check for subject-verb disagreement:
1. Verbs convey action or state of being and require a subject and object. Every verb must agree in number with its subject.
2. Words like "each" and "either" are singular subjects that require a singular verb. Phrases separated by conjunctions like "and" are plural subjects.
3. Subjects connected by "or" or "nor" determine the verb based on the subject closest to the verb.
4. Inverted sentences have the verb before the subject, so the subject must be identified to check agreement.

Subject-Verb Agreement
1. Subject-verb agreement refers to the number (singular or plural) matching between the subject and verb.
2. There are various rules for determining if a subject is singular or plural, such as whether compound subjects joined by "and" are singular or plural, and whether pronouns like "everyone" or "few" are singular or plural.
3. Nouns that are plural in form but singular in meaning, as well as collective nouns referring to a group as a single unit, take a singular verb.
Subject verb agreement
1) Subject-verb agreement refers to matching the number (singular or plural) of the subject with the verb.
2) Singular subjects take singular verbs that typically end in "s", while plural subjects take plural verbs that do not end in "s".
3) There are three irregular verbs - be, have, do - that have unique plural forms.
Subject Verb Agreement

- Singular subjects take singular verbs and plural subjects take plural verbs
- Collective nouns can take singular or plural verbs depending on whether the collection is viewed as a whole or as individuals
- Subjects joined by "and" or coordinating conjunctions can take singular or plural verbs depending on whether they refer to a single thing or multiple things.
English grammar teaching
The document discusses approaches to dealing with errors made by language learners. It explains that errors are an important part of language learning and teachers must make decisions about whether errors matter and how to address them. Teachers are encouraged to use learners' actual errors to target instruction rather than preempt errors, and to provide feedback that promotes self-correction without discouraging learners.
Nouns
Nouns define people, places, or things in a sentence. They provide the subject and can receive actions from verbs. To make a noun plural, usually an "s" is added to the end. However, there are some exceptions like "sheep" that do not change form. Without nouns, sentences would lack subjects and objects, making meaning unclear.
Sva Pitfalls
This document provides guidance on subject-verb agreement in English grammar. It explains that the verb must match the subject in number, with singular verbs used for singular subjects and plural verbs used for plural subjects. Some exceptions and irregular verbs are noted. Tips are provided such as checking if the subject ends in "s" to determine if the verb also needs an "s". Contexts where subject-verb agreement errors commonly occur, like with compound subjects or questions, are discussed. The importance of properly matching subjects and verbs is emphasized.
Gerunds, subject and object
This document discusses gerunds, which are verb forms ending in "-ing" that function as nouns. It provides examples of gerunds being used as subjects and objects of sentences. As subjects, gerunds are always singular and require a third-person singular verb. As objects, gerunds follow certain verbs like "suggest" and "enjoy". The document also discusses using "go + gerund" to describe activities and provides exercises for readers to practice identifying and using gerunds.
Grammar for advanced learners
The document discusses teaching grammar to advanced English language learners. It provides a list of grammar structures and meanings that advanced students should learn, including the present perfect continuous, modals, the third conditional, phrasal verbs, the past perfect continuous, and adverbial clauses.

Gerunds and Appositives
The document discusses phrases, gerunds, and appositives. It defines phrases as groups of words without subjects and verbs, gerunds as noun forms of verbs that can function as different parts of speech, and appositives as nouns that rename other nouns and are set off by commas. The document also notes that a gerund phrase can serve as an appositive phrase.
Gerunds
This document provides instruction on identifying and understanding the function of gerunds in sentences. It begins by defining gerunds as verbals that function as nouns and end in "-ing". Examples are then given of gerunds functioning as subjects, subject complements, direct objects, indirect objects, and objects of prepositions. Learners practice identifying gerunds and determining their function in various sentences through exercises. The document concludes with a review of gerund identification and function.
Unit 2 verbs
Verbs are words that express actions or link subjects to adjectives or nouns. There are tests to identify verbs and determine if they are transitive, intransitive, or linking verbs. Transitive verbs act upon a direct object, while intransitive verbs do not take direct objects. Linking verbs link subjects to adjectives or nouns but do not act on anything. Phrasal verbs are combinations of verbs and other words that have a meaning different from the verb alone.

This document describes a computational procedure for predicting nitrogen oxide (NOx) emissions from diesel engines. The procedure involves using perfectly stirred reactor calculations with detailed chemical kinetics to determine NO formation rates over a range of conditions, then fitting the results to correlations that can be implemented in multi-dimensional engine simulations. Validation shows the approach can reasonably predict species profiles in jet-stirred reactor experiments, though some species like CO have quantitative discrepancies. The procedure accounts for effects of residence time, temperature, and equivalence ratio on non-equilibrium radical formation and subsequent NO production.
College presentation
The document discusses various activities like driving, getting to college, kayaking, music, and cleaning in multiple sections. It covers driving in 3 sections, getting to college in 2 sections, kayaking in 3 sections, music in 3 sections, and cleaning in 2 sections.

Lesson plan
This lesson plan teaches 8th grade students the differences between common nouns and proper nouns. It begins with engaging activities like word games and storytelling to introduce the topic. Students then complete an anticipation guide and analyze examples in a Venn diagram and sentences. Key differences are explained, such as common nouns being uncapitalized and generic while proper nouns are capitalized and specific. Students evaluate by creating a board game and reflecting on applying the nouns correctly. The goal is for students to understand and identify common and proper nouns.
Subject verb agreement
This document discusses subject-verb agreement in English grammar. It explains that singular subjects take singular verbs while plural subjects take plural verbs. There are some irregular verbs like "be", "have", and "do" that do not follow this pattern. Compound subjects joined by "and" are plural, while those joined by "or" can be either singular or plural depending on the closest subject. Prepositional phrases and questions can obscure the subject. The key to correct agreement is identifying the subject and matching its number with the verb.
