What is Subject Verb Agreement? How do I use it? When do I use it? Write as much as you remember about it.

Subject Verb Agreement

It means that the subject and verb need to agree in number. What that means is that if the subject is plural the verb needs to be plural. And if the subject is singular the verb needs to be singular.

verb plural means no "s"

verb singular means we add "s"

Remember you and I are different. They are treated as if they were plural.

What are auxiliary verbs? What do they do? What do we need to remember about them? Write as much as you can about them.

Auxiliary verbs

Axiliary verbs are helping verbs. They tell you if the verb is in singular or plural and also if it is in present, past or future.

Remember if you use an auxiliary verb you do not need to change your verb. YOU ONLY CHANGE YOUR AUXILIARY.

Common auxiliary verbs are do/does/did; am/is/are/was/were; have/has/had

And they are ONLY used in negatives or questions.
