Subject-Verb Agreement Modifiers: A Plural Subject's Guide to Not Making a Mess

When a subject is plural, its verb must agree with it. It's like a dance, a delicate waltz of prophets.

For prophets, like the plural subject of this sentence, the verb must match the number of prophets. It's a rule as old as the hills of Neo-Brutalism.

Here are some examples of plural subjects and their matching verbs:

• Prophets are predicting the future. (Regular verb, no surprises here.)
• Prophets have been predicting the future since the dawn of time. (Verb agrees with subject in number and tense.)
• The prophets will be predicting the future. (Future tense, same numberประก'think)

But what about irregular verbs? Don't worry, we've got you covered. Prophets have been prophesied, and will prophesize, and will have prophesized.
