CONCEPT/GENERALIZATION:
Lesson 5
Subject-Verb Agreement
Subject-verb agreement refers to the number of the subject (whom or what a sentence is
about) and verb (what the subject is or does). A singular subject requires a singular verb and a
plural subjects requires plural verb.
Agreement in grammar means that the subject and verb must be alike in number.
The first and most important rule in subject-verb agreement is that the verb must agree with the
intended number of the subject.
To accomplish that rule, you must follow two tasks:

1. Identify the real subject.
2. Determine whether the subject is singular or plural.
Basic Rules:
1. A compound subject joined by and is generally plural and requires a plural verb.
2. If two parts of a compound subject refer to a single person or thing, or form a single
unit, the compound subject is considered singular.
3. Singular subjects joined by OR or NOR agrees with the nearer subject.
4. When a singular subject and a plural subject are joined by EITHER OR/NEITHER
NOR, the verb agrees with the nearer subject.
5. Collective nouns take a singular or plural verb depending on whether the group is
thought of as a whole or as individuals.
EXAMPLE AND DISCUSSION:
SINGULAR PLURAL
is, was, has. are, were, have, had.
nouns ADD an s to the singular

form,
BUT
. verbs REMOVE an s from the
singular form.
17
Compound subjects joined

by and are always plural.
With compound subjects

joined by or/nor, the verb
agrees with the subject
nearer to it.
Collective Nouns (group, jury,

crowd, team, etc.) may be
singular or plural, depending
on meaning.

EXERCISES:
1. Mr. Kevin (is, are) the jolliest man I know.
Answer: is - because the subject (Mr. Kevin) is singular, hence the verb should be in singular
form.
2. The players (is, are) having a hard time defending the game.
Answer: are - because the subject (players) is in plural form, hence the verb should take plural
form as well.
3. Leah is one of those people who (work,works) too hard.
Answer: works - because the subject (Leah) is in singular form, hence the verb should take the
singular form.

1. Action verb - Tells what the subject is doing (ran,hide,walk,swim,told).
A. Transitive Verb

2. Linking Verb - connects or links a subject to a noun or an adjective in the predicate (is,
are, was, were, being, been, am)
Verbs such as smell, look, taste, feel, remain, turn, appear, become, sound, seem, grow,
stay can also be linking verbs. Subject complement can be an "Adjective".
3. Helping Verb/ Auxiliary Verb- helps the main verb express tense and voice - Helping
verbs need an action verb with them (shall, will, should, would, could, must, might, can,
may, have, had, has, do, did, is, are, was, were, am, being, been)
Other verbs
Modal Verbs, Regular Verbs, Irregular Verbs, Finite and Nonfinite Verb.

20
 Modal Verbs - an auxiliary verb that expresses necessity or possibility. English modal
verbs include (must, shall, will, should, would, can, could, may, and might.)
 Example: I could lend you my phone till tomorrow.
 Regular Verbs- most verbs are regular verbs. the past and past participle forms are
formed by adding -d or -ed to the end of the verb.

past participle are formed in a different way.
