الوسم: Agreement

الحمدلله والصلاة والسلام على رسول الله وعلى آله وصحبه أجمعين

A good thing to learn early in English is the concept of "subject and verb agreement." The subject and the verb must match. They must sound as though they go together. Native speakers learn this naturally; students learn this with years of practice; however, after you learn it, English becomes easier to listen to and speak.

Which of these sentences is correct?

Did you say "d"? That’s correct! Let’s look at the other choices: In "a," the subject is plural and the verb is singular. They don’t agree (match). In "b," the subject is singular and the verb is plural. They don’t agree. In "c," the subject is singular and the verb is plural (yes, without an "s" the verb is plural– surprise?OK (Look At the bottom of this topic) In answer "d," the subject is singular and the verb is singular. They agree.

P.S : Sometimes, there’s no difference between the singular and the plural forms of the verb, such as with the past tense:
She worked at that restaurant. I worked there, too. They also worked there.
I ate breakfast. She ate breakfast. They also ate breakfast.

c) She like her new house.
In "c," the subject is singular and the verb is plural (yes, without an "s" the verb is plural– surprise?
