Tag: verb in singular

Subject-verb agreement is a grammatical concept that refers to the proper matching of the subject and verb in a sentence. The basic rule is that a singular subject takes a singular verb, and a plural subject takes a plural verb. Example (singular): The cat is sleeping. Example (plural): The cats are sleeping. In these examples, cat is singular, so it takes the singular verb is, while cats is plural and takes the plural verb are. This agreement helps maintain clarity and grammatical correctness in sentences.
