Explanation:
- Subject verb agreement implies the subject and verb must agree in number. This means both need to be singular or both need to be plural.
- Subjects and verbs must AGREE with one another in number (singular or plural). Therefore, if a subject is singular, its verb should also be singular; if a subject is plural, its verb should also be plural.
- In present tenses, nouns and verbs form plurals in opposite ways, for example, The dog chases the cat, the dogs chase the cat
- A phrase or clause between subject and verb does not change the number of the subject, for example, The women, who went for the meeting, were bored
- Singular indefinite pronoun subjects take singular verbs (anyone, everyone, someone, someone, anybody, somebody, nobody, each, one, either and neither), for example, Each does a good deal of work around the office
- Plural indefinite pronoun subjects take plural verbs (both, few, many, others, and several).
- Some indefinite pronouns may be plural or singular (all, any, more, most and some); with countable, use plural, with uncountable, use singular, for example, Some of the sugar is on the floor
- With compound subjects joined by or/nor, the verb agrees with the subject nearer to it, for example, Neither the directors nor the actors are following the protocols in the meeting
- Compound subjects joined by and are always plural, for example, An eraser and a pencil make writing easier
- Inverted Subjects must agree with the verb, for example how are the relative taking up the news?
- Collective Nouns (jury, group, team,crowd, etc.) may be plural or singular, depending on meaning, for example, The jury has awarded custody to the mother
- Titles of single entities (organisations, books, countries, etc.) are always singular, for example, The Apples of Hilton is an interesting book to read
- Plural form subjects with a singular meaning take a singular verb. ( news, mumps, physics, and so on for example, Mumps is a contagious disease). Plural form subjects with singular or plural meaning take a singular or plural verb, depending on meaning. (politics, economics, and so on). Plural form subjects with a plural meaning take a plural verb. (trousers, scissors, for example, The scissors are on the table)
- With subject and subjective complement of different number, the verb always agrees with the subject, for example, Poems by WB keats are my favourite
