Distinguishing
Proper Use of
Subject-Verb
Agreement
Subject- Verb Agreement
Subject-verb agreement is the
grammatical rule that the verb or
verbs in a sentence must match
the number, person, and gender
of the subject; in English, the
verb needs to match just the
number and sometimes the
person.
Agreement of Subject- Verb Agreement
 Present tense verbs in English should agree with the
subject of the sentence.

 Singular subjects use singular verbs.


Ex. Jack robs liquor stores (s on the verb)

 Plural subjects use plural verbs.


Ex. Bonnie and Clyde rob banks (no s on the verb)
Compound Subject using “And”
➲Most compound subjects joined by “and” are plural
Examples:
1. Bert and Ernie is / are special friends
2. Bert and Ernie is / are special friends (plural verb)
➲Exception: If the words joined by “and” refer to a single
thing, the subject is also singular
Examples:
1. War and Peace is a very thick book (singular)
2. My friend and co-worker is waiting to see you (singular)
Compound Subject using “Or”
➲When the subject is joined with “or” or “nor” the verb agrees
with the words closest to the verb
Examples:
1. Neither the instructor nor the students has / have any
control over the number of 8 o’clock classes (plural verb).
2. Either two credit cards or a membership is / are needed
before you can rent movies (singular verb)

•Note: While the above example is correct, it is usually


better to place the plural word closer to the verb
Word ending in “S”
➲Words such as economics, AIDS, physics and news are
singular
Examples:
1. Economics is fun and exciting
2. The news is usually broadcast live
➲Words such as scissors, eyeglasses and pants that name
things with two parts are plural
Example:
• My glasses were broken when I did a face plant
