Subject verb agreement
Subject-verb agreement is the basic rule that subjects and verbs must agree in number. The words between the subject and verb do not affect agreement, nor do prepositional phrases between the subject and verb. If a sentence starts with "there" or "here", the subject will always follow the verb.
Subject verb agreement 2
The document discusses subject-verb agreement rules. It explains that the subject may not always precede the verb in questions. When two subjects are joined by "and" they typically take a plural verb, but if they refer to the same thing the verb is singular. If words like "each", "every", or "no" precede the subject, or subjects joined by "or", "nor", "neither/nor", "either/or", and "not only/but also", the verb is singular. Examples are provided to illustrate each rule.
Simple Present Tense of the Verb
The document discusses rules for using verbs in the simple present tense in English. It explains that verbs are in the present tense when actions are routine or habitual. It outlines three main rules: 1) add -s or -es to verbs when the subject is singular, 2) do not add endings when the subject is plural, and 3) do not add endings when the subject is a pronoun like I, you, or we. Examples are provided to illustrate each rule. The document concludes with a practice exercise selecting the correct verb form.
Fixingrun ons
The document provides instructions on how to fix run-on sentences in 4 different ways: 1) Separating sentences with a period, 2) Separating sentences with a semicolon if they have a direct connection, 3) Separating sentences with a comma and a coordinating conjunction, 4) Turning one sentence into a dependent clause by adding a subordinate conjunction. Examples are given for each way to fix run-on sentences. The document also provides a graded assignment asking the reader to rewrite a paragraph without any run-on sentences using each of the 4 fixing methods at least once.
Fanboys
This document discusses the FANBOYS conjunctions - for, and, nor, but, or, yet, and so. These conjunctions are called "coordinating conjunctions" because they connect words, phrases, and independent clauses. The document provides examples of how each conjunction is used and explains its meaning. It then shows the FANBOYS being used to improve a sample paragraph by joining related ideas and showing relationships between sentences.
Compound sentences
This document discusses compound sentences and their components. A compound sentence is composed of two independent clauses joined by a coordinating conjunction. The seven FANBOYS conjunctions - for, and, nor, but, or, yet, so - are used to connect independent clauses. Examples are provided of simple sentences being combined into compound sentences using various FANBOYS conjunctions. Attendees are given practice exercises to change pairs of simple sentences into single compound sentences. The document concludes by thanking attendees and announcing the next session.

Degrees of Comparison
Grammar is the structural foundation of our ability to express ourselves. The more we are aware of how it works, the more we can monitor the meaning and effectiveness of the way we and others use language. It can help foster precision, detect ambiguity, and exploit the richness of expression available in English. And it can help everyone--not only teachers of English, but teachers of anything, for all teaching is ultimately a matter of getting to grips with meaning.
The Degrees of Comparison in English grammar are made with the Adjective and Adverb words to show how big or small, high or low, more or less, many or few, etc., of the qualities, numbers and positions of the nouns (persons, things and places) in comparison to the others mentioned in the other part of a sentence or expression.
The Positive Degree of an adjective in comparison is the adjective in its simple form. It is used to denote the mere existence of some quality of what we speak about. It is used when no comparison is made.
The Comparative Degree denotes the existence of a higher degree of the quality than the positive. It is usedwhen two things (or two sets of things) are compared.
The Superlative Degree denotes the existence of the highest degree of the quality. It is used when more than two things are compared.
The grammatical category associated with comparison of adjectives and adverbs is degree of comparison. The usual degrees of comparison are the positive, which simply denotes a property (as with the English words big and fully); the comparative, which indicates greater degree (asbigger and more fully); and the superlative, which indicates greatest degree (as biggest and most fully). Some languages have forms indicating a very large degree of a particular quality

Sample sentences compare the size and intelligence of characters and describe the most expensive phone.
Comparative Superlative Adjectives
The document discusses comparative and superlative adjectives. It explains that the comparative form compares two people or things, while the superlative compares one person or thing to a group. For one-syllable adjectives, -er is added for comparative and -est for superlative. For adjectives with more than one syllable, "more" is used for comparative and "most" for superlative. Some adjectives like good, bad, many and little are irregular.
Comparatives and Superlatives
This document provides information about adjectives, comparative adjectives, and superlative adjectives in English. It defines what adjectives are and provides examples of one, two, and three syllable adjectives. It explains how to form comparative adjectives by adding "-er" or "-more" and irregular forms.

Subject verb-agreement
- 2. THE RIGHT VERB FORM She drinks coffee. I drink coffee. Henry drinks tea. The cat drinks milk. In the present tense you need to add an -s to the verb in the 3rd person singular (he, she, it). The same when the subject is the name of a person, or a noun. 2
- 3. BE, HAVE, DO IN THE PRESENT TENSE I do my homework. She does her homework. I am 25 years old. She is 65 years old. They are 30 years old. You have two cats. He has five dogs. The verb do changes to does in the 3rd person singular. The verb be has three different forms in the present tense (am, are, is). The verb have changes to has in the 3rd person singular. 3
- 4. AND Sam and Erik run very fast. Erik runs fast. When the subjects are joined by adding ”and”, you don’t add an - s to the verb. 4
- 5. OR Either the light in the hall or the light in the kitchen was on. It is the iPad or the phones that are beeping in the bag. It is the phones or the iPad that is beeping in the bag. Either Jane or Lucas is in the kitchen. Neither me nor the kids were late. When the subjects are joined with ”or” you use the verb form that fits the subject closest to the verb. The same applies to ”either…or”, ”neither … nor”. 5
- 6. IDENTIFY THE SUBJECT Sam and his father, who is quite old, love chocolate. Sam, as well as his dog, loves to take long walks. One of the TVs is broken. When the subject and the verb are divided by a secondary clause, it can be difficult to identify the subject of the sentence. The subject here is only Sam, not the dog, even though both like taking long walks. Only one TV is broken. 6
- 7. WHAT’S WRONG? The beautiful morning with lots of singing birds, warm sunshine and cooling breeze, were lovely. Answer: ”were” should be ”was” because ”the morning” is the subject. 7
- 8. SINGULAR OR PLURAL SUBJECTS? Each Everyone Everybody Anyone Anybody Somebody Someone No one Always singular: add an -s to the verb in the present tense, and use does, is, has. 8
- 9. UNCOUNTABLE NOUNS Advice Business Cash Evidence Furniture Homework Information Mathematics Money News Politics Pollution Progress statistics All uncountable nouns are used as singular nouns. They get -s on the verb in the present tense and use the forms does, is and has. 9
- 10. PLURAL NOUNS Binoculars Knickers/panties Pyjamas Scissors Shorts Tongs Trousers Tweezers Cattle People Police These words are always used in the plural form. They don’t have -s on the verbs in the present tense. They use the forms are, do and have. 10
