Contract Type FiledSeptember 14th, 2005In grammar, subject-verb agreement refers to the correspondence in form between a verb and its subject. Every verb in a clause or sentence must agree in number and person with its subject. That is, make a verb singular if its subject is singular; make a verb plural if its subject is plural. Also, make a verb agree in person (i.e., the doer of the action –first person, second person, third person) with its grammatical subject.
