Lesson Introduction: Using the Correct Subject and Verb
In every sentence, two important parts work together: the subject and the verb.
The subject tells us who or what the sentence is about.
The verb tells us what the subject is doing.
For a sentence to be correct, the subject and verb must agree. This means that a singular subject uses a singular verb, and a plural subject uses a plural verb.
Examples
The athlete runs every morning.
The athletes run every morning.
Notice the difference:
Athlete (one person) β runs
Athletes (more than one) β run
Using the correct subject and verb helps make our sentences clear, correct, and easy to understand.
Today we will practice identifying the subject and verb and making sure they agree with each other in a sentence.
