Subject-Verb Agreement
Can’t we all just get
along?!
![Page 2: Subject-Verb Agreement Can’t we all just get along?!](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022070403/56649f295503460f94c41cbd/html5/thumbnails/2.jpg)
Basic Rule
Singular subjects need singular verbs.
Plural subjects need plural verbs.
![Page 3: Subject-Verb Agreement Can’t we all just get along?!](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022070403/56649f295503460f94c41cbd/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
FYIPronouns such as everyone and
everybody seem plural, but they are always singular — so they need a singular verb.
1. Everyone who worked on the science project is a winner.
2. Someone has to answer the phone.

FYI
Phrases that come between the subject pronoun and its verb —may contain plural words and confuse.
Each of the basketball players is excited about tonight’s game.

These create problems:
• Verbs that accompany pronouns such as all and some will be determined by whether the pronoun is referring to something that is COUNTABLE or not.1. Some of the workers on the building have left for the day.
You could count the workers.

These create problems:
• Verbs that accompany pronouns such as all and some will be determined by whether the pronoun is referring to something that is COUNTABLE or not.1. Some of the salt was spilled on the floor.
Salt is considered one lump item.

These create problems:
When either and neither appear as a subject alone (without the words or and nor), they are singular.
1. Either of those answers seems to be right.
2. You can have the bed by the window or the one by the door. Either is okay with me. Seems like plural
things!

These create problems:
Verbs in the present tense for third-person, singular subjects (he, she, it and anything those words can stand for) have s-endings. Other verbs do not add s-endings.
1.He asks for help.
2.She asks for help.
3.They ask for help.
Tricky subject pronouns
