Subject-Verb Agreement

Back In a sentence, the subject must agree with the verb. Sometimes, it helps to read the sentence out loud to make sure that the subject agrees with the verb. Examples: The sun shines brightly. The coyote yawns when it is tired. Incorrect: The girls eats dinner. (The girls eat dinner.) Incorrect: Dogs is good pets. (Dogs are good pets.) Incorrect: The stars twinkles in the sky. (The stars twinkle in the sky.)
