Okay, that’s all. We will check if you

sorted the correctly as we go on in
our discussion.

Some of the examples are mistakes

on Subject-verb agreement. They
can sometimes confuse you so you
should listen carefully and ask
questions if there are things that
you still can't understand.

I have a question in my mind.

MOTIVE QUESTION
1. Why is learning the correct use
of agreement between the
subject and verb important?
2. How important is this in writing
and conversation?
 There's no need to answer these
questions immediately, think about
it while we are discussing and you
might find the answer.
D. Analysis
At this juncture, let us now delve
into our lesson today, which is the
rules in Subject-verb agreement.

Kindly read what is subject-verb

agreement.
Subject-verb agreement is a
grammatical rule that states that the
verb in a sentence must agree in
number with the subject.

That’s right! In other words, singular

subjects take singular verbs, and
plural subjects take plural verbs.
This agreement helps ensure that
sentences are grammatically
correct and clear.

Can you please read what is

flashed on the screen.
1. The pronoun “You” always
takes a plural verb.

Example: You are a prime example

of a responsible student.

Do you have any examples class?

You are my sunshine, my only

sunshine.

You talk so fast that I can’t even

understand what you are saying.
That is right, always remember that
you use the word “you” always use
a plural verb.

Okay, let us move on to the next

part.

2. If the sentence begins with

 “Here” or “There,” the verb
agrees with the subject which
follows it.

Example: Here are my clothes that I

often wear.
There is a commotion in the
classroom.

We can observe that this rule

pertains that if we use the words
“Here” or “There” at the beginning
of a sentence, we should first
observe the subject if it is in plural
or singular in form.

Can we have any other examples.

Here is your misplaced cellphone.

There are many ways to look for a

house.

Very good, now let us read the next

rule.
3. If there are two subjects, one
is singular and one is plural
which are connected by
correlative conjunction
“Either/Or” or “Neither/Nor,”
the verb agrees with the
nearest subject.

Example: Neither me nor my friends

want to attend.
Either the players or the coach wants
to win the match.
As we can see, the subject “friends”
is the nearest subject to the verb
which is why we used the word
“want” instead of “wants” because
“friends” is already in plural form. In
contrast, the second example’s
nearest subject is the word “coach”
which is singular, that is why we
used the word “wants” instead of
“want.”

Can we hear other examples of this

rule.
 Either Sam or his brother
disapproves about the changes.

Neither the mayor nor the villagers

agree.
Okay very good, let us head out to
rule number four.

4. A singular subject followed by

intervening words or phrases
such as “With,” “As well as,”
“In addition to,” Accompanied
by,” Together with,” and “No
less than,” takes a singular
verb.
Example: Donato, as well as his
peers, is playing at the park.
Now let us clarify, the subject
“Donato” is singular which is why
the verb is also singular. But what
about the subject “Peers?” as we
discussed, the subject “peers” was
with an intervening phrase, which
makes “Donato” the main subject.

Can we hear other examples?

The boy, together with his parents, is
eating at the restaurant.

Randy, with his friends, celebrates

his birthday.
Okay, I hope everyone understood
the rule. Now, let us read rule
number 5.
5. Singular subjects joined by
“And” require a plural verb,
except when they mean one
thing.
Example: Angie and Lou are reading
books
My mentor and friend is arriving
shortly.
As we can observe, the two
subjects “Angie” and “Lou” are
joined by the conjunction “And”
which makes the two singular
subjects into plural. But, if the
person or a thing means only one
thing even if they are linked by
“And,” the verb will be singular. Now
the second example pertains that
his mentor is also his friend which is
a single person, which is why the
verb will still be in a singular form.

Let me have other examples from

the class.

Sunny and Merry are boats used by

the sailors.

Peanut butter and jelly is my favorite

All right very good, now remember sandwich.
that if there is a conjunction “And” in
between two subjects, the verb will
be in plural form. Unless, they only
mean one thing. Now let’s head to
rule number 6, kindly read.

6. Two singular subjects joined

by “Either/Or” or “Neither/Nor”
take a singular verb.
Example: Either Mom or Dad is
coming with me to watch the new
movie.
Neither Jay nor Nicky is waiting for
Unlike rule number 3, this rule me.
pertains that if two singular subjects
with a correlative conjunction is still
in singular verb form.

Who wants to give other examples?

Either Charee or Jonah is waiting

outside.

Okay, you are getting the hang of it. Neither Jerry nor Nicko is straight.
Now, let us dive to rule number 7.

7. If a singular subject is followed

by a phrase containing a
plural noun, the verb is
singular.
Example: One player from of the
Now let us check, as we can see boys’ basketball team is sick.
here, we are talking just about a
singular subject which is obviously
the word “one” in a group the “boys’
basketball team,” this makes the
verb singular in form.

Who wants to give the rule number

seven a go?

One of the members of the student

council is against the new rule.

That’s right! Remember that if a One of the girls is yelling so loud.

singular subject is followed by a
phrase containing a plural noun,
always use a singular verb. Now let
us read rule number eight.

8. The indefinite pronouns

“Several,” “Few,” “Both,”
“Many,” “Others” are always
plural.
Examples: Both are playing
aggressively.
Okay let us observe, the indefinite Others are talking carelessly.
pronouns that are flashed on the
screen is already in plural form,
why? Because those words pertain
to two or more subjects which is
why the verb is also plural.

Let me hear other examples from

the class.

Few are willing to give their

belongings.

Many are dismayed by the outcome

Okay, are we still on the same of the election.
page? I hope you understood the
rule. Now let us go to the next rule.

9. The indefinite pronouns

“Some,” “Most,” “All,” “None”
are singular or plural
according to the meaning of
the sentence.
Example: All of the rice was cooked.
Some of the players in the soccer
Now for you to be enlighten by this team are injured.
rule, we can use these indefinite
pronouns depending of the noun if it
Is countable or uncountable. Like
for the first example, we used the
noun “rice,” we cannot count the
rice one by one which is why it was
complied or group into a single
subject. And for the second
example, we used “some of the
players” which can be counted for
having eleven main players in a
team which is why we used the
plural verb form.

Understood? Now can some of you

give other examples for this rule?

All of the sand on the beach is black

in color.

Most students at Baybay integrated

Right on! Good to know that you school are slow learners.
understood this rule. Okay we can
now advance to the last rule that we
will learn this day. Everyone please
read rule number 10.

10. When any of the following

indefinite pronouns is the
subject, the verb is singular:
Everybody, Each, No one,
Another, Anybody, Nobody,
Every, Nothing, Everything,
Anyone, Either, Neither,
Everyone, Somebody, or
Someone.
Example: Everybody is looking for
something.
Everything is an opportunity if you

screen is considered as singular
and the verb should be also
singular.

Who can give other examples to

this rule?

Someone is looking for help.

Neither of the options is suitable.

Okay, just remember that the Either of the flavors is delicious.

 following indefinite pronouns in the
screen is used as a subject, the
verb will always be singular.
Understood?

Yes sir!

 Both of my sisters plays

  The flowers in the garden
blooms in spring.

 He love to read books in his

free time.

 The children is playing in the

park.

 The company is planning to

expand its operations.
Why is the sentence number 3
incorrect? The verb “is” should be in plural form
because it used a plural subject.

That is right! It should be “The

students are studying for their
exams.”
Next is, why is number 4 incorrect?
The subject is singular and it uses a
plural verb.

Correct! The correct form should be

“the book on the table is mine.”
What about number 8? It has the indefinite pronoun “both”
which is plural so it should take the
plural verb also.

Right! The correct form for this

sentence should be “Both of my
sisters play basketball.”
Now let’s head to number 10, why is
it incorrect?
The subject “news” is singular which is
why it should be “is” instead of “are.”

Correct! The word “news” is just an

acronym and it is singular, the
sentence should be “The news is
reporting on the latest
developments.”
Why is number 12 incorrect? The sentence is incorrect because the
 subject “flowers” is used and the verb
should be “bloom” instead of
“Blooms.”
That is right! The correct sentence
should be “The flowers in the garden
bloom in the spring.”
Next up is sentence number 13.
Because the subject “he” is singular
and the verb is “love” which disagrees
with the subject.

Yes! The sentence should be written

as “He loves to read books in his free
time.”
Now let us go to sentence number 14
and why is it incorrect. The word “children” is plural and it
uses the singular verb form “is.”

Correct! The children is already in

plural form, which is why the
sentence should be “The children are
playing in the park.”
Now, why is sentence number 16
incorrect? Because the word “company” is a
group making it singular, so the verb
form should be in singular form.
Nicely done, the word “company” is
singular and it should be written as
“the company is planning to expand
its operation.”

Marvelous! You are now getting

closer on understanding our topic.
Now let us have another activity to
further enhance your understanding
on the first 10 rules on Subject-verb
agreement. But before that, let us
return to our motive question.
MOTIVE QUESTION
1. Why is learning the correct
use of agreement between the
subject and verb important?
 2. How important is this in writing
and conversation?
Sir! It is because learning the correct
use of SVA avoid miscommunication
and this makes our thought be more
comprehensible.
That is right! by learning the correct
grammar rules, we can avoid
miscommunication which can lead
into misunderstanding.
Okay, any other hands?
Learning how to use subject verb
agreement correctly is important
because, it helps make our writing and
conversation clearer and easier to
understand.

Yes! Just the previous answer, by

being aware of the grammar rules,
we can communicate more
effectively.
Now, you are ready to take on the
next activity.
