Subject-Verb Agreement

 Verbs must always agree with the noun or pronoun subject of a sentence both in tense and
number.
 Subjects and verbs should agree with one another in number- singular or plural.
 Thus, if a subject is plural, its verb must also be in plural form.
 The base form is used in all other instances.
 Subject-verb agreement is not applied when the tense is in the past.
 Subject-verb agreement is applied when the verb be is used as a main verb or as a helping
verb in both past tenses.
