This document discusses subject-verb agreement in English grammar. It provides examples of how to determine if a subject is singular or plural and how the verb conjugation changes accordingly. Some key points covered include: - Verbs take -s in the third person singular (he/she/it walks) but drop -s in plural forms (they walk). - There are irregular verbs like be, have, do that don't follow the standard rules. - Subjects joined by "and" are plural so the verb is not conjugated with -s. Subjects joined by "or" can take a singular or plural verb depending on proximity. - Indefinite pronouns like anyone, everyone

Subjectverbagreement
This document discusses subject-verb agreement in English grammar. It provides examples of singular and plural subjects and verbs. Key points covered include:
- Verbs must agree with their subject in number - singular verbs with singular subjects and plural verbs with plural subjects.
- There are irregular verbs like "be", "have", and "do" that have unique plural forms.
- Verbs take an "s" ending with singular subjects not ending in "s" and drop the "s" ending with plural subjects.
- Subjects joined by "and" or referents like "nobody" are always plural so the verb does not take an "s".
COW Unit 1
This document provides an overview of different types of nouns and pronouns. It discusses common and proper nouns, singular and plural nouns, concrete and abstract nouns, collective nouns, appositives, possessive nouns, subject and object pronouns, indefinite pronouns, possessive pronouns, contractions, interrogative pronouns, demonstrative pronouns, reflexive and intensive pronouns, and the differences between there, they're, and their. The document is intended to teach 7th grade students about nouns and pronouns.
Pronouns and antecedents
This document discusses pronouns, antecedents, and subject-verb agreement. It defines pronouns as words that replace nouns and antecedents as the original nouns replaced by pronouns. It identifies three problems with pronouns: missing or faraway antecedents, anticipatory antecedents, and ambiguous antecedents. It also discusses agreement between subjects and verbs, noting that singular subjects take singular verbs and plural subjects take plural verbs. It provides examples of compound subjects, collective nouns, and "there is/there are" sentences.

Collective nouns and phrases between subjects and verbs are noted as areas where agreement errors can occur.
Auxiliary Review 2.2
This document summarizes different types of verbs in English:
Main verbs express action, occurrence, or state of being. Auxiliary verbs accompany main verbs and show tense, person, and number. Modal verbs like "can", "must", and "may" modify the meaning of the main verb. The verbs "to do", "to be", and "to have" are used as auxiliaries to form questions, negatives, and different tenses like continuous, perfect, and passive. Certain expressions like "be expected to" and "be required to" function similarly to modal verbs.
Auxiliary verbs
An auxiliary verb is used to add functional or grammatical meaning to the main verb. Auxiliary verbs are function words that indicate things like tense, aspect, modality, voice, emphasis, etc. but do not have substantial meaning on their own. Common auxiliary verbs in English include be, do, have, will, can, may, must, shall, should, would, and others. Auxiliary verbs are used to form questions, negatives, passive voice, and different tenses like the present perfect.
Verb Tense
Verbs express actions or states of being and are essential parts of sentences. There are several types of verbs including action verbs, linking verbs, and helping verbs. Verb tense indicates when the action occurs, with choices being present, past, or future tense. Most regular verbs form the past tense by adding "-ed" but some verbs are irregular and do not follow this pattern. Maintaining consistent verb tense is important when writing.

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.
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.

- 2. Plurals in English Grammar • To make a noun plural, we add –s • Singular: girl • Plural: girls • To make a verb plural, we take away the –s. • Singular: he talks • Plural: they talk
- 3. Watch the Verb Endings! Singular • I walk • You walk • He/She/It walk s • Joe walk s • The girl walk s Plural • We walk • You walk • They walk • Joe and Maria walk • The girls walk
- 4. Remember there are irregular verbs: • DO Singular Plural • He does They do • HAVE • She has They have • BE • He is They are • She was They were
- 5. Tip for Subject/verb Agreement Generally, if the subject doesn’t end in –S, the verb will. If the subject does end in –S, the verb won’t.
- 6. The girl dances. No –S on subject -S on verb
- 7. The girls dance. -S on subject No –S on verb
- 8. Multiple subjects joined by “and” • If there are two or more subjects joined by and, the subject must be plural, so the verb will not get an “s”. Example • The boy and the girl dance. (= They dance.) No –S on verb
- 9. Multiple subjects joined by “or” If there are two or more subjects joined by or, the verb agrees with the part of the subject closest to it. Examples: • The professor or the students walk the halls. • The students or the professor walks the halls.
- 10. Indefinite Pronouns •Some indefinite pronouns are always singular. Here are some examples: anyone, everyone, someone, no one, nobody •Others can be either singular or plural (all, some) • Everybody loves grammar! • Some people love grammar.
- 11. Relative Pronouns Relative Pronouns (who/which/that) can be either singular or plural, depending on the word they refer to. • The student who works hard will succeed. • The students who work hard will succeed.
- 12. Helpful hints Sometimes, several words come between the subject and the verb. Just take out the phrase in the middle to see whether or not the subject and verb agree. The student, though she had lots of problems in other schools, finds/find (?) her new class easy. The student, though she had lots of problems in other schools, finds her new class easy. The student finds her new class easy.
- 13. Prepositional phrases The subject can never be part of a prepositional phrase. Example The students in my class study / studies hard. X
- 14. In the sentences below, do the subjects & verbs agree? • They goes to the gym after class to work out. • Harry and his friends wants to see the new movie coming out this weekend. • The cat who is meowing at my door wants in. • Neither the cat nor the dogs likes the new food. • The mayor as well as his brothers are going to jail. • Nobody wants to dance. • The paper or the ruler are in the desk.
