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.
5
Subject verb agreement (Rules and Exercise with Answer Key)
This document provides 10 rules for subject-verb agreement in English grammar:

There are exceptions where the subject and verb may be separated but still agree. The document also provides guided practice questions for students to practice identifying subjects and the appropriate verb form.
compound subject and compound predicate
This document provides instruction on compound subjects and compound predicates. It defines them as sentences with more than one subject or predicate. Examples are given like "Rachel and Steffi read the same book" which has a compound subject.
