A. Sing. verb
1. sing. sub. takes sing. verb.
2. indefinite 🤬. as (one, everyone, nobody, anyone, someone, neither).
ex: each of the students was given a warning.
3. collective nouns as ( group, team, class, company, family, crowd).
ex: the audience was waiting for a long time for the performance to begin.

B. Plural verb
1. plural sub. takes plural verb.
2. except for comp. sub. with
neither/nor, either/or, not only/ but also.
the verb agrees with closer sub.
ex: neither my parents nor my brother is
attending my graduation.

S/V agree. :
sing. sub. requires sing. verb
plural sub. requires plural verb

to avoid errors consider:

I. comp. subs. ( 2 nouns + conjunction) take plural verbs.
e.g: The house and the yard are in need of some maintenance.

** neither/nor ** verb agrees with closer sub.
e.g: neither my parents nor my brother is attending my grad.

II. indef. pronouns (one , each...etc) take sing. verbs.
e.g: each of the students was given a warning.

III. collective nouns ( family, class...etc.)
take sing. verb.
e.g: t he audience was waiting for a long time.

IV. prep. phrases can't be sub.
e.g: one( sing.) of my friends is from Amsterdam.

V. inverted senten.
e.g: down the path and through the trees
was a beautiful beach( sing.).

'Subject verb agreement'

-singular subject needs a singular verb.

-plural subject needs a plural verb

-HOW TO FIX IT-

1-plurls

I-compound subjects.
>>exept for -neither/nor,or,not/only/but also.

2- singular.

I- identify pronouns are always singular.

II-collective nouns are usually singular.

III-go back through your work and proof read and keep this mistake in mind.
