3. Bell Ringer
How do you know if a sentence has correct subject-verb agreement? (Write your response in a paragraph and be sure to use the terms you learned this quarter, such as singular, plural, etc.)

4. Bell ringer model answer
A reader will know if subjects and verbs agree by checking if they agree in number. For example, a reader must first remove any prepositions because a subject and a verb are never found inside of prepositional phrases. Next, he or she should locate the subject and label it singular with an “S” if it is only one or plural with a “P” if it is more than one. Then, find the verb and do the same things. If the subject and verb are both singular or both plural, then the subject and the verb agree. If they are different, the verb should be changed to agree.
