What to Focus On

  • A verb must agree with its subject in number and person.
  • Singular subjects take singular verbs.
  • Plural subjects take plural verbs.
  • Singular nouns take singular verbs like 'is', 'was', 'has', 'does'.
  • Plural nouns take plural verbs like 'are', 'were', 'have', 'do'.
  • Always check the number of the noun before choosing the verb.
  • I → am / was / have / do
  • He/She/It → is / was / has / does
  • We/You/They → are / were / have / do

Common Mistakes to Avoid

If two singular subjects are joined by 'and', the verb should still be singular because each part is singular.

'News' is plural because it ends with 's', so it takes a plural verb like 'are'.

Collective nouns like 'team' or 'class' always take plural verbs because they refer to many people.

Memory Tips

Singular subject takes singular verb; plural subject takes plural verb.

I am, You are, He/She/It is

Two singular subjects joined by 'and' take a plural verb.

Collective nouns (team, class, army) take singular verbs when acting as one unit.
