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.
- 'The committee' is a collective noun. Hence it takes the singular verb.
- 'Two-thirds' is taken as the singular subject as it cannot be counted in numbers.
- 'People' refer to many individuals. Thus, it takes a plural verb.
