Explanation
Subject-verb agreement refers to the correct matching of the subject and verb in a sentence. It means that a singular subject should be paired with a singular verb, and a plural subject should be paired with a plural verb. For example, "She sings" (singular subject, singular verb) and "They sing" (plural subject, plural verb) demonstrate subject-verb agreement. It helps to maintain clarity and grammatical correctness in sentences.

About Subject-Verb Agreement
Subject-verb agreement requires the verb to match the true subject in number and person, even when other words intervene. Questions cover collective nouns, compound subjects, indefinite pronouns, either and neither, relative clauses, quantities and inverted sentences, where proximity can falsely suggest the wrong verb.
