   About today's lesson, we learn about some new chapter. It is call ' Subject-Verb Agreement '..

Subject-verb agreement is a grammatical rule that states that the verb must agree in number with its subject.  In English,  present tense verbs change to show agreement in the third person singular form (subjects represented by the pronouns HE, SHE, IT) by adding an S or ES. 

 

I live you live he liveS she liveS it liveS

we live you live they live

The irregular verb BE has three forms in the present tense and two forms in the past tense:
 

Present: I am you are he is, she is, it is we are  they are

Past: I was you were he was, she was, it was we were you were

 

Subject-verb agreement often causes problems when a noun rather than a pronoun is the subject of the verb.
