Review Study Guide

GRAMMAR- SUBJECT/VERB AGREEMENT

Subjects and Verbs have to agree in Number Singular sub=singular verb Most singular verbs end in –s Subjects are never in a prep phrase KNOW THE INDEFINITE PRONOUNS! Some are

always singular, some are always plural, some can be either or.

Indefinite pronouns that can be either singular or plural – number is determined by the antecedent Some of the cookies (is/are) in the kitchen. Some of the cake (is/are) in the kitchen.

SUB/VERB AGREEMENT CONTINUED

Compound subjects joined by and = Plural

EXCEPT- PBJ rule (items are considered one thing) and if Each/Every precedes subject)

Compound subject joined by or/nor = number determined by subject closest to the verb

S and P = P P and S = P P and P = P S and S = P

S or S = S S or P = P P or P = P P or S = S

SUBJECT VERB AGREEMENT CONTINUED

Collective Nouns as subjects take a PLURAL when working as individuals.

Collective Nouns as subjects take a SINGULAR when working as ONE UNIT

Examples of Collective nouns Jury, Committee, Team,

Family, Herd

Some nouns that end in –s are Singular (certain areas of study ) EX: statistics,

economics, civics, physics

PRONOUN ANTECEDENT AGREEMENT

Same rules as Subject/Verb agreement, expect they also have to agree in gender

Same rules about indefinite pronouns (some always singular, some are always plural, some can be either)

Same rules about compound antecedents (or=pick the closest antecedent to determine number, and =plural)

Trickiest part has to do with indefinite pronouns- remember, everyone/everything/e- etc are SINGULAR and need a singular pronoun.

EX: Each girl took off (her/their) coat.
