26 What s wrong with these sentences? There is too many pictures on the wall. Or this one? Everybody but Julio want to go home. Or this one? All the people wants to win the lottery. The subjects and verbs don t agree!
27 How do we fix them? There are too many pictures on the wall. A plural subject goes with a plural verb. Everybody but Julio wants to go home. A singular subject goes with a singular verb. All the people plans to win the lottery. A plural subject goes with a plural verb. Now the subjects and verbs agree!
28 To be correct, subjects and verbs must agree They must agree in NUMBER: Singular subjects go with singular verbs. Everyone wants to win the lottery. Plural subjects go with plural verbs. All the players want to win the game. Number is always about Singular & Plural
29 What causes problems with S/V agreement? Words between the subject and the verb: The shoes in the closet needs to be shined. In the closet is a prepositional phrase between the subject shoes and the verb need. To be correct, the verb should be: need with no s The shoes in the closet need to be shined. Common Prepositions about before during inside over above below except in through across beside for of to around between from off under at by in on with
30 Verb before the subject Inside the garage are the shovel. Across the border is Reynosa and Progresso. Where is the instructions for the X-Box? Shouldn t they be? Inside the garage is the shovel. Across the border are Reynosa and Progresso. Where are the instructions for the X-Box?
31 Indefinite Pronouns [-0ne words] [-body words] [-thing words] one nobody nothing each anyone anybody anything neither everyone everybody everything either someone somebody something All of these indefinite pronouns are singular Nobody have a clue about what they are doing. (should be has) Everything are ready for the party. (should be is) Neither Fred, nor Ed, nor Ted know the way. (should be knows) All and both, however, are plural All of them wants to go. (should be want)
32 Joel is one of those people who is very private. (should be are) Compound Subjects Subjects joined by and usually take a plural verb. Diet and exercise is ways to be healthy. (should be are) Ambition and luck was Juan s keys to success. (should be were) Who, Which and That If they stand for singular words, who, which and that take singular verbs: Rebecca is a person who are very private. (should be is) If they stand for plural words, who, which and that take plural verbs:
33 General Rules for checking subject / verb agreement When you are trying to see if the subject and verb agree, leave out the part you don t need: Everyone in the contest want to win. Everyone want to win. [wrong!: should be wants] Now put the part back: Everyone in the contest wants to win. Say the sentence to yourself out loud, if it doesn t sound right, there is a very good chance it is not right.
34 One More Thing: Tense Agreement Tense is all about time. Usually we write in the Past tense. The Present and Future are fine, but once you start in a tense, STAY there! Yesterday we decided that tomorrow we will go shopping is correct. (Past & Future together) We went to the store and buy food. is not correct. (Past & Present together) It should be bought not buy.
