Subject Verb Agreement

Subject-Verb Agreement is the grammatical rule that the subject and verb in a sentence must agree in number (singular or plural).

We use a singular verb when the subject is singular (one person or thing). For example, 'The cat runs fast.'

We use a plural verb when the subject is plural (more than one person or thing). For example, 'The cats run fast.'

The correct verb is 'is'. 'One' is singular.

The correct verb is 'takes'. 'Sheriff' is singular.

The correct verb is 'makes'. 'She' is singular.

The correct verb is 'is'. 'Ten kilos' is treated as a singular unit.

The correct verb is 'is'. 'Group' is a collective noun treated as singular.

A collective noun is a word that represents a group of people or things, such as 'team', 'group', or 'family'.

When subjects are joined by 'and', they are usually considered plural, so we use a plural verb. For example, 'Tom and Jerry are friends.'
