Of subjects and verbs


There are rules to follow when it comes to words both singular and plural and what they can ‘do’.

A COMMON grammatical error in English is the failure to correctly apply the rules that relate to the Specific Subjects and their Verbs in sentences with regard to their number, that is, whether they both should be singular (one person or thing) or plural (more than one person or thing) or should be different.
