 Let’s Remember This
Verbs must always agree with the noun
or pronoun subject of a sentence both
in tense and number. Subjects and
verbs should agree with one another in
number- singular or plural. Thus, if a
subject is plural, its verb must also be
in plural form. The base form is used in
all other instances. Subject-verb
agreement is not applied when the
tense is in the past. Subject-verb
agreement is applied when the verb be
is used as a main verb or as a helping
verb in both past tenses.
