Making Subjects and Verbs Agree
A singular subject needs a verb in the singular form, and a plural subject needs a verb in the plural form. Here are some basic examples of subject / verb agreement:
- Singular subject and singular verb:
- A famous actor comes to her restaurant once a month.
- Plural subject and plural verb:
- The public treats celebrities like kings and queens.
