1.1 Introduction
Concord literally means harmony, agreement. Thus, it means harmony between
different members of a group. When we talk of sentences, concord means
harmony or agreement between different parts of a sentence, specially the subject
and the verb.
Every sentence says something about a person or thing. The part of a sentence
that names the person or thing is called Subject or the part, which gives us
information about the Subject is called Predicate. The subject of a sentence thus
has a close relation to what is being said in the Predicate. The form of the verb
should be in direct relation to the number and person of the Subject
