Subject-Verb Agreement Quiz-2 : In English grammar, Subject-Verb Agreement means that the verb must match the subject in number and person. If the subject is singular, the verb should also be singular. If the subject is plural, the verb should be plural.

For example:
He plays cricket. (Singular subject ‘He’ → Singular verb ‘plays’)
They play cricket. (Plural subject ‘They’ → Plural verb ‘play’)

This rule helps in making sentences grammatically correct and easy to understand. Mistakes in subject-verb agreement can make sentences sound incorrect or confusing.

Basic Rules:

  1. Singular subject → Singular verb (e.g., She writes a letter.)
  2. Plural subject → Plural verb (e.g., They write letters.)
  3. With ‘and’ → Use plural verb (e.g., Ram and Shyam are friends.)
  4. With ‘or’ / ‘nor’ → Match verb with the nearest subject
    • Either Ramesh or his friends are coming.
    • Either his friends or Ramesh is coming.
