Subject and Verb Agreement Video Test Solution Online In Urdu START QUIZ Learning Objectives Identify and use verbs to match the subject of a sentence Figure 1. When double checking for tense agreement, ask yourself, “Who (or what) is doing the action of the verb?”. The basic idea behind sentence agreement is pretty simple: all the parts of your sentence should match (or agree). Verbs need to agree with their subjects in number (singular or plural) and in person (first, second, or third). In order to check agreement, you simply need to find the verb and ask who or what is doing the action of that verb. For example: I really am (first-person singular) vs. We really are (first-person plural) The boy sings (third-person singular) vs. The boys sing (third-person plural) Compound subjects are plural, and their verbs should agree. Look at the following sentence for an example: A pencil, a backpack, and a notebook were issued to each student. Verbs will never agree with nouns that are in phrases. To make verbs agree with their subjects, follow this example: The direction of the three plays is the focus of my talk. The subject of “my talk” is the direction, not plays, so the verb should be singular. In the English language, verbs usually come after subjects. But when this order is reversed, the writer must make the verb agree with the subject, not with a noun that happens to precede it. For example: Beside the house stand sheds filled with tools. The subject is sheds; it is plural, so the verb must be stand. Work through these slides to learn a few tips that will help you always get correct subject-verb agreement. Consistency One of the most common grammatical mistakes in writing is a lack of tense consistency. Writers often start a sentence in one tense but ended up in another. Look back at that sentence. Do you see the error? The first verb start is in the present tense, but ended is in the past tense. The correct version of the sentence would be “Wri...

In the workplace, you want to present a professional image. Your outfit or suit says something about you when meeting face-to-face, and your writing represents you in your absence. Grammatical mistakes in your writing or even in speaking make a negative impression on coworkers, clients, and potential employers. Subject-verb agreement is one of the most common errors that people make. Having a solid understanding of this concept is critical when making a good impression, and it will help ensure that your ideas are communicated clearly. Agreement in speech and in writing refers to the proper grammatical match between words and phrases. Parts of sentences must agree, or correspond with other parts, in number, person, case, and gender. Number. All parts must match in singular or plural forms. Person. All parts must match in first person (I), second person (you), or third person (he, she, it, they) forms. Case. All parts must match in subjective (I, you, he, she, it, they, we), objective (me, her, him, them, us), or possessive (my, mine, your, yours, his, her, hers, their, theirs, our, ours) forms. For more information on pronoun case agreement, see Section 2.5.1 “Pronoun Agreement”. Gender. All parts must match in male or female forms. Subject-verb agreement describes the proper match between subjects and verbs.

That is, a singular subject belongs with a singular verb form, and a plural subject belongs with a plural verb form. For more information on subjects and verbs, see Section 2.1 “Sentence Writing”.

Number and Person. It is clear from example-1 that verbs have full agreement with their third person subjects, as they are supposed to agree with their subjects in number, gender and person when SVO is used; contrastively when VSO is used, verbs have partial agreement, as they agree with their subjects in gender and person only; while they remain intact with both singular and plural subjects. At the same time, example-2 shows that in both modes (SVO and VSO) the same rules of agreement (number and person) have been applied between verbs and subjects regardless of the gender when the subject is a first person. With more examples, we can show that a lot of agreement variations exist between verb and subject according to the subject features (gender, person, and number), verb tense (past, present, and future), and verb-subject order (SVO and VSO). Other features such as humanity and animate also should be considered [3]. Examples 3 and 4 below show how the humanity feature affects the agreement requirements; it is clear from example-3 that in both modes SVO and VSO the gender and person agreements are maintained with non-human feminine subject, while only the person agreement is maintained with masculine subject; whereas in both genders the singular form of the verb is used; observe that a feminine singular verb is used with masculine plural subject as it is appear in 3.c. The story is differ with human being subject, in SVO words order; number, gender, and person agreements are maintained between the verb and the subject; while in VSO words order; gender and person agreements are maintained, whereas the verb is in singular form regardless of the subject number (singular or plural). In the same way we can show that different agreement rules are needed with animate/inanimate subjects, with dual (two persons) subject, with more than one subject in the same sentence e.g. "the boy and the girls play football", and also with more than one verb such as "The women eat and speak", and so on.
