What is Subject-Verb Agreement in English?
Subject-verb agreement is one of the fundamental rules of English grammar. It requires that the verb in a sentence must agree with its subject in number (singular or plural). This rule applies to all tenses and is essential for clear communication.
Singular Subject
One person or thing + verb with -s/-es
"The cat runs fast."
Plural Subject
Two or more + verb without -s/-es
"The dogs run fast."
He / She / It
Third person singular uses -s/-es
"She works at a bank."
They / We / You
Plural forms use base verb
"They work at a bank."
