📝

Handles Tricky Cases

"Either/neither", collective nouns ("team is/are"), and phrases that separate subject from verb ("The box of chocolates was/were").

Frequently Asked Questions

What is subject-verb agreement?
Subject-verb agreement means the subject and verb in a sentence must match in number. A singular subject needs a singular verb ("The dog runs"), and a plural subject needs a plural verb ("The dogs run").
What are the trickiest agreement rules?
Collective nouns (team, group, family), indefinite pronouns (everyone, each, neither), and sentences where a prepositional phrase separates the subject from the verb ("The list of items is ready" — not "are ready").
Why is this hard for non-native speakers?
Many languages (like Chinese, Japanese, Korean) don't have subject-verb agreement rules. Others (like Spanish, Hindi) have different patterns. This makes English SVA errors very common for ESL speakers.
