Subject Verb Agreement

SVA Individual Work * a verb must agree with its subject in person (1st, 2nd, and 3rd) and in number (singular and plural). Singular verbs end in “s.” 1. Simple sentence=a singular subject takes a singular verb; plural subject takes a plural verb. 2. Watch out for prepositional phrases or other interrupters that separate the subject and verb. ex. Jim, along with his friend Joe, (is/are) taking a computer class.

3. Two subjects joined by “and” need a plural verb unless the two subjects represent one thing/person. ex. Bill and Bob (is/are) best friends. ex. My coach and teacher (is/are) Mr. Tillman. ex. Rock and Roll (is/are) my favorite type of music.   4. Two subjects joined by “or” or “nor” need a singular subject unless the second subject is plural. ex. Bill or Bob (is/are) the leader of the club. ex. Bill’s brothers or Bill (is/are) leading. ex. Bill or his brothers (is/are) leading the meeting.

5. Watch out for Subjects in Unusual Positions. * Because the subject is after the verb, you might use the wrong verb. ex. There (is/are) a large moving van in our driveway. ex. (Do/Does) your sisters go to Central Middle School? ex. At the end of the hallway and to the right (is/are) the restrooms.   6. Watch out for collective nouns and indefinite pronouns. First determine if the word is singular or plural. ex. The team (is/are) playing well. ex. The team (is/are) turning in their uniforms. ex. Some of the milk (is/are) rotten. ex. Some of the cookies (is/are) stale.

7. Watch out for plural nouns with singular meaning and singular nouns with plural meanings. Also watch amounts. * Plural but singular- mathematics, news, politics ex. Mathematics (is/are) something that I enjoy. * Singular but plural- pants, scissors, goggles The goggles I lost (is/are) purple. * Amounts- four hours, two-thirds, ten dollars ex. Four hours (is/are) a long time to spend taking a test. ex. Ten dollars (is/are) scattered all over the floor.
