Explanation:

• In English, Subject-verb agreement refers to the grammatical concept where the subject of a sentence must align with the main verb of that same sentence.

• In particular, singular subjects carry singular verbs and plural subjects carry plural verbs.

• The subject of a sentence i.e. the person/doer or thing that is doing something) must agree with the verb (the thing that the subject is doing).

• For example; a singular subject like a student takes a singular verb like studies: A student studies. A plural subject (students) requires a plural verb (study): The students study. The tense changes accordingly.
