Use the correct subject or verb

Key Notes:

✨📘 Use the Correct Subject or Verb ✨

🔹 What is a Subject?

👉 The subject is the person, place, or thing doing the action.
🧑 = person | 🐶 = animal | 🌳 = thing

💡 Example:

• The dog 🐕 runs fast.
• She 👧 is reading a book.

🔹 What is a Verb?

👉 The verb is the action or state of being in the sentence.

• ⚡ Action words: run, eat, sing 🎵
• State of being: is, am, are

💡 Example:

• The boy plays 🎮.
• They are happy 😊.

🔹 Subject-Verb Agreement 💡

✅ A singular subject takes a singular verb.
✅ A plural subject takes a plural verb.

💡 Examples:

• She sings 🎤 (singular).
• They sing 🎶 (plural).
• The cat 🐱 runs fast.
• The cats 🐱🐱 run fast.

🔹 Be Careful With These 👀

I and You → always take plural verbs.

• I am ready.
• You are kind.

Collective nouns (team, family, group) → can be singular or plural depending on meaning.

• The team is winning 🏆.
• The team are arguing 😠.

Indefinite pronouns (everyone, someone, each) → always singular.

• Everyone is excited 🎉.

🔹 Quick Tips 🎯

• ⭐ Check if the subject is singular or plural.
• ⭐ Match the verb correctly.
• ⭐ Watch out for tricky words like each, everyone, nobody.
