25 Agreement Review for test 1. Make sure the SINGULAR SUBJECT NOUN agrees with a SINGULAR VERB. Ignore prepositions and other non-subject words near the verb. Each of the jokes ( was / were ) hilarious! The leader wearing stripes ( needs / need ) to speak! 2. Make sure the PLURAL SUBJECT NOUN agrees with a PLURAL VERB Both of the jokes ( was / were ) hilarious! Poets who love symbolism ( confuses / confuse ) me!

26 COMMA Review for test 1. Use a comma after phrases that begin a sentence. To get married officially you must have the Friar s help., 2. Use a comma to separate two or more adjectives in front of a noun. Mercutio s boisterous unpredictable language is a treat., 3. Use a comma ahead of a F.A.n.b.o.y. that sets off a complete sentence. Juliet either hides her true point in flattery, or she confounds her words to throw off adult understanding.

27 Agreement Review for test 28. A collection of many poems (sit, sits) on Romeo s desk in his artificially dark room. 29. The causes of Mercutio s joking (is,are) difficult to tell.
