Unit 4 Week 4 Introducing Pronoun-Verb Agreement

Pronoun-Verb Agreement

DAY 1  Subject pronouns and verbs must agree. Add –s to regular present tense verbs when using singular pronouns he, she, and it. She likes writing. Do not add –s when you use the pronouns I, we, you, and they. They like to cook.  Indefinite pronouns have nonspecific antecedents and can be singular, plural, or both: anyone, several, some. Some dogs are smart. Some ice is melted. Indefinite pronouns as subjects must agree with their verbs. Anyone is welcome to come. Several are going to the concert.

Subject Pronoun-Verb Contractions

DAY 2  A contraction is a shortened form of two words in which the missing letters are replaced by an apostrophe.  Subject pronouns can be combined with some verbs to form contractions. For example, they are becomes they’re; you are becomes you’re; I am becomes I’m; it is becomes it’s.

Mechanics and Usage: Frequently Confused Words

DAY 2 Words such as there, they’re, and there are often used incorrectly. 1.There refers to a place. I would like to go there. 2.They’re is a contraction of they are. They’re driving. 3.Their is a possessive pronoun. Have you seen their cat? Other homophones can be confusing such as to, too, and two; it’s and its, who’s and whose; you’re and your.

Proofread

DAY 2 1.They completes the most laps. 2.Your a great swimmer! 3.She rest after every ten laps. 4.Their my goggles, but you can use them. 5.I uses earplugs when I swims.
