What to Focus On

  • Subjects and verbs must agree in number (singular with singular, plural with plural)
  • Words between subject and verb do not affect agreement
  • Prepositional phrases between subject and verb are ignored

  • Different subjects in same sentence need separate auxiliaries when numbers differ
  • Past tense in main clause should be followed by past tense in subordinate clause
  • Universal truths can use present tense even after past tense main clause

  • Use 'some' in affirmative sentences, 'any' in negative/interrogative sentences
  • For two items, use comparative (better); for more than two, use superlative (best)
  • When comparing two qualities of same person/thing, use 'more' not '-er'

Common Mistakes to Avoid

When two subjects are joined by 'and', the verb is always plural

In either/or and neither/nor constructions, the verb always agrees with the first subject

Indefinite pronouns like 'everyone', 'somebody', 'anybody' can take plural pronouns for reference
