READ & LISTEN
Read:
Subjects and verbs must agree with one another in number (singular or plural). This is called subject verb agreement.
- If a subject is singular, its verb must be singular.
- If a subject is plural, its verb must be plural.
To be correct, a sentence must have the correct form of the verb according to the subject. Notice in the 3rd person singular, there is a change in the verb. You need to add an "s".
| SINGULAR | PLURAL | ||
|---|---|---|---|
| 1st person | I write sentences. | We write sentences. | |
| 2nd person | You write sentences. | You write sentences. | |
| 3rd person |
He writes sentences. She writes sentences. |
They write sentences. | |
