Question

What is a subject-verb disagreement?

Answer 1

Hint: Grammatical errors will divert the reader's attention away from the content of our article, lowering our score. As a result, learning how to correct these errors will help us write more clearly. This will help us learn and practise correcting subject-verb conflict, which is one of the most frequent grammatical mistakes.

Complete answer:
In a statement, the subject is the “doer.” A verb is a word that expresses an event or a situation.
When the verb and the subject agree in number or plurality, it is called subject-verb agreement. Subject-verb disagreement, on the other hand, is literally the absence of the agreement. But, one way to look at this is to rule out the possibility of agreement.

Subject-verb disagreement occurs when the singularity or plurality of our sentence's subject and the accompanying verb do not align. This is a grammatical mistake that can cause the reader to become confused, so we should strive for subject-verb agreement.

To see if we have a subject verb disagreement, do the following:
- Look for a subject that is connected to the verb we are testing.
- If the subject and verb are split, the words in between should be ignored.
- Double-check the singularity or plurality of the subject and the accompanying noun.

Note: The subject and verb must both be singular or plural in order for a sentence to be grammatically right. To put it another way, the subject and verb must agree in their tense. When the subject is plural, the verb should be plural as well (and vice versa).
