Subject-Verb Agreement

• Subject-verb agreement refers to the rules that guide us in placing the correct verbs in correspondence to the subject of the sentence.

• The word 'police' may look singular, but it is a plural noun. The word 'police' signifies the presence of more than one police officer. Thus, it will take a plural noun.

• 'Is,' 'was,' and 'has' are all singular nouns. Thus, the answer is 'are.'
