Review Subject-verb agreement before starting →Ideas to recall
- Find the complete subject before choosing the verb form.
- Singular third-person subjects usually take an s-form verb in the simple present.
- Plural subjects and the pronouns I and you usually take the base verb form.
- Words between the subject and verb do not change the number of the subject.
Use these ideas to reason through each question; answer-specific explanations appear only after you check a response.
