English 10

● Subject - a word that represents the doer or agent of an action or set of actions in a
sentence. It can be either a noun, singular or plural.
● Verb - the words that represents its the action of a sentence

Singular - represent only one thing (was, is, this, has)

Plural - represent more than one (were, are, these, have)

● Singular - verb Agreement - simply means the subject and verb must agree in number

Singular and Plural rules

Noun (subject) Verb (action)

● Singular ● Singular
Does not have an "s" or "-es" Add "s" or "-es"

● Plural ● Plural
Add "s" or "-es" Does not have an "s" or "-es"

● Rule 1 - the subject and verb must agree in number, both must be singular or both must
be plural.
● Rule 2 - the number of the subject (singular or plural) is not changed by words (or a
phrase) that come in between the subject and the verb.
● Rule 3 - some subjects always take a singular verb even though the meaning may seem
plural. These subjects always take singular verbs. (Each, either, neither, one, no one,
everyone, someone, anyone, nobody, somebody, anybody.)
● Rule 4 - the following words may be singular or plural, depending upon their use in a
sentence (some, any, all, most)
● Rule 5 - subjects joined by "and" are plural. Subjects joined by "or" or "nor" take a verb
that agrees with the last subject.
● Rule 6 - in sentences beginning with "there is" or "there are", the subject follows the
verb. Since, "there" is not the subject, the verb agrees with what flows.
● Rule 7 - Collective nouns may be singular or plural, or depending on their use in the
sentence
● Rule 8 - expressions such as "with", "together", with "including", "accompanied by", "in
addition to", or "as well" do not change the number of the subject. If the subject is
singular, the verb is too.
● Rule 9 - doesn't (singular) is a contraction of "does not" and should be used only with a
singular subject. Don't (plural) is a contraction of "do not" and should be used only with a
plural subject.
● Rule 10 - always take singular words. Nouns such as "civics", "mathematics", "dollars",
and "news" require singular verbs.
