Example Output

# Subject-Verb Agreement ## Definition Subject-verb agreement means that the subject and verb in a sentence must "match" in number - if the subject is singular, the verb must be singular; if the subject is plural, the verb must be plural. ## Basic Rule Singular subjects take singular verbs (usually ending in 's'), while plural subjects take plural verbs (usually without 's'). ## Examples ✓ The dog runs in the park. (singular) ✓ The dogs run in the park. (plural) ✗ The dog run in the park. (incorrect) ✗ The dogs runs in the park. (incorrect) ✓ She writes letters every day. ## Memory Tip Remember "SUMO" - Singular subjects Usually Match with verbs that have an 's' at the end! ## Common Mistakes 1. **Confusing nearby words**: "The box of cookies ARE on the table" (Wrong! Focus on 'box,' not 'cookies') 2. **Compound subjects**: "Tom and Jerry runs" (Wrong! Two subjects = plural verb: "run") ## Practice Sentences 1. The cats (play/plays) outside. Answer: play 2. My sister (write/writes) stories. Answer: writes 3. The students in my class (study/studies) hard. Answer: study
