Subject-Verb Agreement Rules for the Clueless

Rule 1: Singular Noun Subject

For singular nouns, the verb must match in number.

Example:

My singular noun example is a cat. I is a good example of subject-verb agreement.

Rule 2: Plural Noun Subject

For plural nouns, the verb must also match in number.

Example:

My plural noun friends and I are having fun.

Rule 3: Collective Noun Subject

Collective nouns are a special case. They can be singular or plural.

Example:

My team is working together. But, my team is not working well together.
