her sisters.

What is the verb of the sentence? The verb in the sentence is volunteer.

3. Abstraction

In subject-verb agreement, what rules

are we going to remember? 1. A singular subject must take a
singular verb.
2. A phrase or clause that comes
between the subject and the verb
does not affect the number of the
subject.
3. Two subjects joined by “and”
take a plural verb.
4. If there are two singular subjects
joined by “or” or “nor”, use a
singular verb.
5. If a singular subject and a plural
subject are joined by “or” or
“nor”, the verb must agree with
the subject closest to it.

Why is subject- verb agreement important class? Subject-verb agreement unifies a

sentence and makes it easier to understand.
It is important to ensure that subjects and
verbs always agree with each other.

Very good. Subject-verb agreement is very important class;

It is like when you buy something form the grocery store you
have to pay the right price of the item.

For example you buy a corned beef worth 29.00 pesos; and
you will pay in the counter 100.00 pesos.

How much change will the cashier give you? The cashier will give me 71 pesos
because I only pay for those 29 pesos.

That’s right!
Just like in subject- verb agreement, you have to use the
right verb according to its subject.
