Subject-verb agreement is one of the most important aspects of English grammar. It refers to the rule that a verb must agree with its subject in number (singular or plural) and person (first, second or third).

A common mistake in subject-verb agreement is when the verb does not match the number of the subject. For example, using a singular verb with a plural subject or vice versa. This can result in confusing and incorrect sentences that can negatively impact the clarity of your writing.

To avoid this mistake, it is important to practice subject-verb agreement exercises. Here are a few practice exercises to get you started:

1. Choose the correct verb in the following sentences:

a. The team (is/are) ready to play.

b. The books (needs/need) to be returned to the library.

c. The cat and the dog (has/have) a rivalry.

2. Rewrite the following sentences to achieve subject-verb agreement:

a. She don`t like to eat vegetables.

b. The group of students was accepted to the program.

c. There is a lot of work to be done today.

3. Identify the error in the following sentences and correct them:

a. The news are not good.

b. Neither the teacher nor the students was ready for the test.

c. Each of the boys have a different opinion.

It is important to practice subject-verb agreement exercises regularly to improve your writing skills. By mastering this grammar rule, you can ensure that your writing is clear, concise, and grammatically correct.
