Subject/pronoun & verb agreement The subject and the verb in a sentence must agree. The subject pronouns she, he, and it name only one person or thing, so they are singular. When a subject is singular, use a singular verb. Singular verbs end in -s, -es, or -ies. He (singular) watches (singular) the neighbor’s baby. It (singular) needs (singular) a new lock.

Subject/pronoun & verb agreement The subject pronouns we and they name more than one person or thing, so they are plural. The pronoun you can also be plural. When a subject is plural, use a plural verb. Plural verbs usually do not end in -s, -es, or -ies. We (plural) walk(plural) home. They (plural) finish (plural) early.

Subject/pronoun & verb agreement The singular subject pronouns I and you do not follow these rules. They name only one person or thing, but they should be used with plural verbs. You (singular) sing (plural) better than I do! I (singular) close (plural) the windows at night.
