📚 Topic Summary
Subject-verb agreement simply means that the verb in a sentence must agree in number with its subject. If the subject is singular, the verb must be singular. If the subject is plural, the verb must be plural. For example, 'The dog barks' (singular) and 'The dogs bark' (plural). Understanding this concept helps you write clear and grammatically correct sentences.
