Making Subjects and Verbs Agree

The Rule

The Rule:In a sentence, the subject and verb must match.

When that happens, we say the subject and verb agree.

When a subject is singular (stands for one thing), the verb usually ends in s.

Example:  She likes to draw.

When a subject is plural (stands for more than one thing) or the subject is or you, the verb usually does not end with s.

Examples: Maggie and Ben like to draw.

                      I like to draw pictures.
