Subject Verb Agreement-

While writing are speaking the sentence a verb must agree with its subject according to the number and person.

• Whenever we use singular subject it always requires a singular form of the verb.
• while if we use plural subject obviously a plural form of verb is required. This process is called subject verb agreement.

eg. He is going to university.

They are going to university.
