What is subject verb agreement?
Subject verb agreement is the rules of English grammar to decide the relation between subject and verb.
It means that if the subject is singular we have to use singular form of helping verb, on the other hand if the subject is plural we have to use plural form of the helping verb.
There are certain words which looks plural but we have to use singular helping verb after them.
News, mathematics, scissors these are the nouns which looks like plural but we have to use singular helping verb after them.
example -Mathematics is a simple subject.

If the two different things joined with and then helping verb always come in plural form.
