subject and verb
In English the main grammatical agreement is subject–verb agreement (matching number and person: "She runs" vs. "They run"). Adjectives don’t change to match nouns (one red apple, two red apples), prepositions don’t agree with their objects, and verbs don’t agree with prepositions. (Also note pronouns must agree with their antecedents in number and gender: "Everyone brought his or her book" or the gender-neutral alternatives.)
