Subject-Verb Agreement

• Subject-verb agreement refers to the rules which guide us in the correct placement of the verbs based on the number of the subject.

• A plural subject is followed by a plural verb.

• 'People' is a plural subject as it refers to more than one person. Thus, it takes the plural verb 'were.'

• 'Is' and 'was' are singular nouns. Thus, they are not used.
