What is "subject-verb agreement"?

Subject-verb agreement is a grammatical rule that requires the subject of a sentence to match the verb in number and person. This means that singular subjects must be paired with singular verbs, while plural subjects must be paired with plural verbs. For example, in the sentence "The cat runs," the singular subject "cat" agrees with the singular verb "runs." Understanding subject-verb agreement is essential for creating grammatically correct sentences and ensuring clarity in communication.
