Question
subject-verb agreement
Answers
GPT 3.5
Subject-verb agreement means that the subject of a sentence must agree with the verb in terms of number (singular or plural). This means that a singular subject requires a singular verb, and a plural subject requires a plural verb.
For example:
- The cat (singular subject) is sleeping (singular verb).
- The dogs (plural subject) are barking (plural verb).
Incorrect subject-verb agreement can lead to confusion and make a sentence sound awkward or incorrect. It is important to pay attention to the number of the subject and choose the appropriate verb form to match it.
