Subject Verb Agreement:
When the subject and verb agree which is must with one another in terms of number whether it is singular or plural then we called it as subject verb agreement.
Rule:
1. The subject and verb must agree in number ie. both must be singular or both must be plural.
2. The number of the subject (singular or plural) is not changed by words (or a phrase) that come in between the subject and the verb.
3. Some subjects always take a singular verb even though the meaning may seem plural.
4. Collective nouns can be singular or plural, depending on their use in the sentence.
5. Some nouns are actually singular in meaning while in plural form.
