2 Subject-Verb Agreement
Singular nouns need singular verbs to balance them out when they are in the active present form. While we add an ‘-s’ to plural nouns, we do the opposite with most verbs. Singular: Plural: The kid waits for the bus The kids wait for the bus The kid sits on the ground The kids sit on the ground The kid watches TV The kids watch TV

3 Subject-Verb Agreement
Some verbs are irregular: S: Is/P: are – The teacher is cool vs. The teachers are cool. S: Has/ P: have – The teacher has books. Vs. The teachers have books S: was/ P: were – The teacher was talking vs. The teachers were talking

4 Things to consider: Obj. Summary
Introduce the article in the opening sentence. ex. “In the article “…..” the author discusses…” Look for general trends in supporting details. DON’T use personal pronouns like I, Me, We, Us. Revisit all of the grammar in all of your sentences.
