Concept 3 of 3
Concord — singular vs plural verbs
The verb must agree with the subject:
- Singular: The boy runs.
- Plural: The boys run.
Watch out for tricky subjects: everyone, each, everybody are singular.
Example
Everyone is happy. (Not are.) The team plays well.
💡 Tip:Find the real subject before the verb. Don't be fooled by phrases between them.
