G RAMMAR - S UBJECT /V ERB A GREEMENT Subjects and Verbs have to agree in Number Singular sub=singular verb Most singular verbs end in –s Subjects are never in a prep phrase KNOW THE INDEFINITE PRONOUNS! Some are always singular, some are always plural, some can be either or. Indefinite pronouns that can be either singular or plural – number is determined by the antecedent Some of the cookies (is/are) in the kitchen. Some of the cake (is/are) in the kitchen.

Collective Nouns as subjects take a SINGULAR when working as ONE UNIT Examples of Collective nouns Jury, Committee, Team, Family, Herd Some nouns that end in –s are Singular (certain areas of study ) EX: statistics, economics, civics, physics

P RONOUN A NTECEDENT A GREEMENT Same rules as Subject/Verb agreement, expect they also have to agree in gender Same rules about indefinite pronouns (some always singular, some are always plural, some can be either) Same rules about compound antecedents (or=pick the closest antecedent to determine number, and =plural) Trickiest part has to do with indefinite pronouns- remember, everyone/everything/e- etc are SINGULAR and need a singular pronoun. EX: Each girl took off (her/their) coat.
