BASIC PRINCIPLE OF AGREEMENT

1.      The basic principle of agreement of subject and verb is as follows: A verb must agree with its subject in person and number. Note how this principle is applied in the following sentences.

HOW TO IDENTIFY THE SUBJECT

The following suggestion will help you properly identify the subject and therefore help you choose the correct verb to use with it.

2.      Subject and Verb Separated by Modifiers.

Word and phrases that appear between the subject and the verb ordinarily do not affect the number of the subject and therefore should not be allowed to affect the number of the verb. The verb agrees with its subject, not with a noun or pronoun placed between the verb and its subject.

3.      Subject and Verb Separated by Parenthetical Expressions.

Parenthetical expressions introduced by such words and phrases as including, as well as,  and together with do not affect the number of the subject or of the verb that should be used with it. These expressions are not necessary to the sense of the sentence.

4.      Verb Followed by Subject.

When the verb or part of the verb phrase precedes the subject, the best procedure is to mentally place the subject and the verb in their normal order. In normal order, the subject and modifiers closely connected to it appear before the verb.

5.      Verb Preceded by There or Here.

When the word there or here preedes the verbs, as in the following examples, the subjects follow the verb.

6.      Verb followed by a Predicate Nominative.

When the verb is followed by a predicate nominative (a noun or pronoun that renames or further identifies the subject), the verb agrees with is subject, not with the predicate nominative

7.      Two or more Singular Subjects.

Singular subjects that are joined by and and that identify different persons or things require a plural verb.

8.      Singular Subjects Modified by Every or a Similar Expression.

When two or more singular subjects connected by and are modified by every, each, many a, or many an, a singular verb is required.

9.      Plural or Plural and Singular Subjects.

Plural subjects or a plural subject and a singular subject connected by and require a plural verb.

10.  Singular subjects.

Singular subjects connected by or, either..... or, or neither...  nor are singular and require a singular verb. If the subjects differ in person, the verb agrees in person with the subject nearer or nearest the verb.

11.  Singular Subject and a Plural Subject.

When or, either... or, or neither ... nor connects a singular subject and a plural subject, the verb agrees in number with the subjects immediately preceding it. If the subjects differ in person as well as in number, the verb agrees in person and number with the subject nearer or nearest to it.
