Subject-Verb Agreement

• Subject-verb agreement refers to the rules which guide us in the correct placement of the verbs in a sentence based on the singular and plural number of the subject.

• According to the rules, a singular subject should take a singular verb. Similarly, a plural subject should be followed by a plural verb.

• In the given sentence, the subject is 'my brother.' It indicates a single person and is thus a singular subject. Thus, it should take the singular verb 'plays.' A singular verb takes 's' after the word.

• In the given sentence, the plural verb 'play' has been used. Thus, it was wrong.
