Verb Agreement in English Grammar

The video tutorial explains the rules of subject-verb agreement, focusing on how singular verbs follow singular subjects and plural verbs follow plural subjects. It covers specific rules for uncountable nouns, collective nouns, proper nouns, and compound subjects. Special cases are discussed, such as when singular nouns are joined by 'and' but refer to the same entity, or when subjects are connected by 'or' or 'nor'. The tutorial also addresses complex rules involving conjunctions and quantifiers like 'each' and 'every'.
