Subject-Verb Agreement Part 1
Grammar Cheat Sheet
What is the one ‘s’ rule?
In a complete sentence, there is a subject and a verb. Usually, either the subject or the verb will end with an “-s”. But there should only be one “-s”!
SINGULAR SUBJECT
For a singular subject, add an “-s” to the end of the verb
e.g. The alien gaze/gazes at the moon.
The alien gazes at the moon.
The alien gaze at the moon.
PLURAL SUBJECT
For a plural subject, remove the “-s” at the end of the verb
e.g. The aliens gaze/gazes at the moon.
The aliens gaze at the moon.
The aliens gazes at the moon.
