A subject and a verb must agree,<br />

even when other words or phrases<br />

come between them.<br />

Example:<br />

The flock of geese is flying south<br />

for the winter.<br />

The subject is “flock,” so the verb should be “is<br />

flying.” Ignore the prepositional phrase “of geese”<br />

when determining verb number.
