- Agreement is a relation between two elements
such that they match one another in terms of
some grammatical feature. In English the most
important type of agreement is number of
agreement between the subject and verb.

rules for SVA

agree with its
subject

beginning with a prepositional phrase,
the verb still agrees with its subject
- 3- Prepositional phares beginning with the
compound prepositions such as along with,
toghether with, in addition to, and as well as

- Intervening words between
subject and verb, in most of

effective method for
determining the subject its
corresponding verb is to
ignoring the words between
the subject and the verb.
- Subjects joined by "and" and "both...
and", two subjects, wheter plural or
singular, that are joined by "and" and
"both...and" become one plural subject
and should be paired with a plural
verb.
- Subjects joined by "or",
"nor", "neither...or", and
"either...nor". If two
singular subjects are
joined by these words,
they remain singular
and should be paired
with a singular verb.
