C. Motivation pad paper for two minutes)

Before anything else, I would like you to

write ten verbs.

Very good! Now, we will discuss all those

verbs as we move on with the lesson.

D. Presentation

Remember class that verbs, unlike nouns,

have the S-form of the word for the singular
form and the base form for its plural form.
Please take a look at the example.
Example:
S-form(singular): S-form(singular)
Sings, dances, writes, eats Notices, smells, looks,
Base Form(plural)
Sing, dance, write, eat Base Form(plural)
Notice, smell, look
Give some more examples

Very good. Now we will move on with

thelesson regarding the rules on the Subject –
Verb Agreement.

1. Singular subjects take singular verbs.

Plural subjects take plural verbs.

Words between subject and verb do not affect
the number of the subject. (intervening
phrase)

Example: One of the obstacles of self-reliance is

sages dazzles people.

Notice that although the intervening words

are in plural form, both the subject and the
verb are in singular form.

Now, give your own example.

3. The words some, all, most, any are singular

when they refer to quantity or a collection
taken as one. On the other hand, they are All of the dish was done by my Logan.
plural when they refer to a number or a Any of the students are allowed to participate.
collection taken as several items. (number)
Example: Most of the work was begun by
original thinkers. (quantity)

F. Generalization

Singular subjects take singular verb; plural

subjects take plural verb.

The verb agrees only to its subject.

Intervening words do not affect the number of
the subject.

Some, all, most, and any are singular when

they refer to a quantity. They are plural when
they refer to a number.

A compound subject joined by and takes

plural verb. When the compound subject
refers to one unit, it takes singular verb.
