What to Focus On

  • Singular subjects take singular verbs
  • Plural subjects take plural verbs
  • Agreement applies to all tenses and verb forms

  • Subjects joined by 'and' typically take plural verbs
  • Same person/thing referenced takes singular verb
  • Mathematical expressions with 'and' can take singular verbs

  • Collective nouns as single units take singular verbs
  • Individual members of collective take plural verbs
  • Context determines the intended meaning

Common Mistakes to Avoid

When subjects are joined by 'with', 'along with', 'as well as', the verb should agree with both subjects (plural verb).

Collective nouns always take singular verbs.

'A number of' and 'The number of' both take singular verbs because they contain the word 'number'.

Memory Tips

Basic subject-verb agreement principle

Two singular nouns joined by 'and' take plural verb

Same person or thing with 'and' takes singular verb

Collective nouns usually take singular verbs
