Subject-Verb
Agreement
Basic Rule
• Singular subjects need
singular verbs.
• Plural subjects need plural
verbs.
These create problems:
• Pronouns such as everyone and everybody
seem plural, but they are always singular
— so they need a singular verb.
1. Everyone who worked on the
science project is a winner.
2. Someone has to answer the
phone.
These create problems:
• Phrases that come between the subject
pronoun and its verb —may contain plural
words and confuse.
Each of the basketball players is
excited about tonight’s game.
These create problems:
• Verbs that accompany pronouns such as all
and some will be determined by whether the
pronoun is referring to something that is
COUNTABLE or not.
1. Some of the workers on the
building have left for the day.
You could count
the workers.
These create problems:
• Verbs that accompany pronouns such as all
and some will be determined by whether the
pronoun is referring to something that is
COUNTABLE or not.
1. Some of the salt was spilled
on the floor.
Salt is considered
one lump item.
These create problems:
• None is usually regarded as singular, but it
can be used as a plural pronoun.
None of the boys has helped at the
game.
Either is correct!
OR
None of the boys have helped at the
game.
These create problems:
Phrases such as together with, along with, and as
well as seem to combine subjects, but they do
not .
Some of the tile in our room, as well
as the hall, was soaked.
The major problem we had, together
with that of our teacher, was
tardiness.
Don’t be fooled
by extra phrases!
These create problems:
When either and neither appear as a subject
alone (without the words or and nor), they
are singular.
1. Either of those answers seems to
be right.
2. You can have the bed by the
window or the one by the door.
Either is okay with me. Seems like plural
things!
These create problems:
The words there and here are never
subjects.
1.Here are the papers you gave me.
2.Here is my answer.
Here is not
the subject.
These create problems:
Verbs in the present tense for third-person,
singular subjects (he, she, it and anything
those words can stand for) have s-endings.
Other verbs do not add s-endings.
1.He asks for help.
2.She asks for help.
3.They ask for help.
Tricky subject
pronouns

Directions: If the subject and verb
are in agreement click "correct." If
they are not, click the word that is
the correct answer.
