4. Subject & Verb Agreement{ this one essential
rule }
singular subject = singular verb
plural subject = plural verb
Some words of wisdom… Part of the reason for the confusion arises
from the fact that because most nouns become plural in English by adding the letter "s," people think this must be the case with verbs as well. However, the rules for nouns ending in the letter "s" and verbs ending in the letter "s" are quite different from one
another.
singular subject = singular verb
My cat are jumping.
My cat is jumping.
plural subject = plural verb
My cats is jumping
My cats are jumping
