SUBJECT VERB AGREEMENT William Reyes Leonel Mendoza

DEFINITION  Definition: A grammatical rule that states that the verb must agree in number with its subject.  In other words, singular subjects must have singular verbs and plural subjects must have plural verbs.

I live You live He lives She lives It lives We live They live I wash You wash He washes She washes It washes We wash They wash Present tense verbs change to show agreement in the third person singular form by adding an “S” or “es”

RULES  Two singular subjects connected by either /or, neither/nor in a sentence have a singular verb.  Example: Neither mike nor tom is helping at the restaurant.  Example#2: My brother or my sister is going to pick you up at your school.  When using two or more subjects that are connected by “and” use a plural verb.  Example: William and Leonel are freshman at UC Merced.

MORE RULES  The verb agrees with the subject, even if there is a phrase in between that contains a pronoun or noun.  Ex: One of the cars is stolen.  The verb agrees with what follows if there is no subject at the beginning.  Ex: There are many flowers.  Ex#2: There is a flower.
