“Choose  Subject”

“You have no work assigned”

A sentence starts with a capital letter and ends with  a period/full stop, a question mark or an exclamation mark.

• My dog loves his new toy. 

• Where are you from?

• I am excited! 

Every sentence must have a subject and a verb. An object is optional. Note that an imperative sentence may have a verb only, but the subject is understood.

Sam teaches Math.

Stop!

The subject and verb must agree in number, that is a singular subject needs a singular verb and a plural subject needs a plural verb.

That monk eats once a day.

Sam and Sarah work in Iowa.

Most people eat three meals a day.

When two singular subjects are connected by or, use a singular verb. The same is true for either/or and neither/nor.

Sam or Sarah is coming tonight.

Either coffee or tea is fine.

Neither Sam nor Sarah was late.

 Adjectives usually come before a noun (except when a verb separates the adjective from the noun).

She married a handsome American man.

(Her husband is poor.)

When using two or more adjectives together, the usual order is opinion-adjective + fact-adjective + noun. (There are some additional rules for the order of fact adjectives.)
