subject-verb agreement

Subject-verb agreement is a grammatical rule that ensures the subject and verb in a sentence match in number. This means if the subject is singular (one person, place, or thing), the verb should be singular, like "The cat sleeps." If the subject is plural (more than one), the verb should be plural, like "The cats sleep." Proper agreement helps sentences sound correct and clear. For example, "She runs" (singular) and "They run" (plural). Paying attention to the subject's number and adjusting the verb accordingly is essential for grammatical accuracy.
