Subject-verb agreement:

• Agreement or concord occurs in linguistics when a word changes form depending on the other words to which it is related.
• It is a type of inflection that includes making the value of a grammatical category "agree" between different words or portions of a phrase.
• Even if other words or phrases come between them, a subject and a verb must agree.
• EXAMPLE: The geese are migrating south for the winter.
• Because the subject is flock, the verb should be flying.
• When determining verb number, disregard the prepositional phrase geese.

Rules of subject-verb agreement:

• Singular verbs are required for singular subjects.
• Plural verbs are required for plural subjects.
• Plural verbs are required for compound subjects that include the word "and."
• Compound subjects containing the words "or" or "nor" can accept either a singular or plural verb.
• Singular and plural collective nouns exist.
• Indefinite pronouns are singular and must be followed by single verbs.
• A pair is a single noun that requires a single verb.
• When offered as a title, plural-form topics are frequently singular.
• Gerunds are frequently used as singular nouns and accept singular verbs.
