Writing, a skill required by many jobs on the planet, contains many chances for mistakes that can make your writing unclear or even unreadable. Understanding the significance behind subject-verb agreement can help you write better and make your writing much easier to understand.

To communicate clearly in the English language, you must match a singular subject with a singular verb and a plural subject with a plural verb.
