SUBJECT AND VERB<br />
AGREEMENT<br />
A basic sentence, in English, is composed by a subject and a verb. Who performs the<br />
action in the sentence is called subject; what the subject performs is indicated by a verb.<br />
Examples:<br />
1) The crowd fights in favor of the gender equality.<br />
2) The planet suffers two issues: famine and obesity.<br />
3) I want a decent work.<br />
Subjects:<br />
1) Crowd<br />
2) Planet<br />
3) I<br />
Verbs:<br />
1) Fights<br />
2) Suffers<br />
3) Want<br />
How can we identify the subject and<br />
the verb in a sentence?<br />
In order to answer this question, we<br />
need other two questions:<br />
To identify the subject we ask:<br />
Who is the sentence about?<br />
To identify the verb we ask:<br />
What does the sentence say about<br />
the subject?<br />
These two questions are key and helpful to identify the<br />
subject and the verb, for example in question one:<br />
Who is the sentence about?<br />
It is about the crowd.<br />
What does the sentence say about the subject?<br />
The sentence says that the crowd fights.
