The Stupidity of English Grammar
• To make a noun plural, we add –s– Singular: girl – Plural: girls
• To make a verb plural, we take away the –s.– Singular: he talks – Plural: they talk

Watch the Verb Endings!
Singular • I walk• You walk• He/She/It walk s– Joe walk s– The girl walk s
Plural• We walk• You walk• They walk– Joe and Maria walk– The girls walk

Tip for Subject/verb Agreement
Generally, if the subject doesn’t end in –S, the verb will.
If the subject does end in –S, the verb won’t.

List of Prepositions
![Page 13: English I Honors—February 3, 2015 Bell work: What are some advantages of attending college? Homework: – MyAccess! Interview Narrative due tomorrow at midnight](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062412/5a4d1af37f8b9ab05997ff1e/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Compound subjects joined by “and”
• If there are two or more subjects joined by and, the subject must be plural, so the verb will not get an “s”.
Example• The boy and the girl dance.
(= They dance.)
No –S on verb
![Page 14: English I Honors—February 3, 2015 Bell work: What are some advantages of attending college? Homework: – MyAccess! Interview Narrative due tomorrow at midnight](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062412/5a4d1af37f8b9ab05997ff1e/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Compound subjects joined by “or”
If there are two or more subjects joined by or, the verb agrees with the part of the subject closest to it.
Examples:• The professor or the students walk the halls.• The students or the professor walks the halls.

Watch out for “Everybody”
• Everybody loves grammar!• Everybody understands subject/verb agreement.

How do I get this right?
– Identify the verb. Ask who or what is doing it.– This will identify the subject.– Say them together and make sure that they
match in terms of number.

The subject and verb are the skeleton of every sentence. Make sure you fit those two important parts together
correctly!
