While it is easy to see that third-person singular verbs enter into subject-verb agreement relationships
with their subjects, we should not forget that all other forms (other than third-person
singular) of the present tense equally enter into subject-verb agreement even though the verb does
not change form. For example, the verbs in the following sentences all enter into a subject-verb
relationship with their subjects:
I refuse to answer the phone. (first-person singular pronoun subject)
The books on the desk have to be returned. (plural noun phrase subject)
They seem upset about something. (third-person plural pronoun subject)
