Look at the two sentences Our group are all going to visit the chimps in the forest And Our group includes six boys and five girls Have you noticed any difference between them Yes If the word group

then go on to do Exercise No 2 on the same page that is fill in the correct verb form in the letter Step III Ready used materials for Subject verb agreement We all know these meanings of agree but when we talk about subject verb agreement we re talking about something different matching subjects and verbs according to number That is when you have a singular subject you have to match it with a singular verb form The boy plays When you have a plural subject you must have a plural verb form The boys play In short simple sentences you should have no problem with agreement You can hear the problem The boys plays When it s wrong it just sounds funny However there are four potential problem spots that you need to watch carefully Reversed sentence order The normal pattern for English sentences is subject verb However there are a few situations where this order is reversed like this sentence oThere are snacks on the laundry room table oWhere are they oOn the table are the goodies 6 See how the subject comes after the verb in each of these If you can remember how to locate subjects and verbs you shouldn t blunder into mistakes when writing reversed order sentences body one and thing words The correct term for these words is indefinite pronouns but if you remember them as body one and thing words you ll probably be able to spot them more easily You only need to know one thing if a word has one of these endings like everybody everyone anyone anything etc it is always singular You can also include each either and neither in this group Look at the following 1 Everyone is going on a picnic 2 Each of the boys is taking his own lunch 3 If anyone drops something to eat I ll grab it before he can pick it up You shouldn t have problems with these if you simply memorize the endings of words that are always singular NOTE We said that either and neither are always singular however if you have two subjects in an either or or neither nor construction getting the agreement right may give you fits To get it right just locate the subject closest to the verb and make the verb agree with it oEither the mailman or the construction workers are causing Peggy to bark like crazy oNeither the dogs down the street nor the one next door pays any attention Compare this with the following 7 oEither the construction workers or the mailman is causing Peggy to bark like crazy oNeither the one next door nor the dogs down the street pay any attention IV Closing down by doing a quiz To end the period you are going to take a quiz on subject verb agreement The third
