What are the 6 rules in subject verb agreement

Answers

The Basic Rule: Singular subjects have singular verbs and plural subjects have plural verbs.

Example 1: Jason walks to the store.

Example 2: The brothers walk to the store.

1. When connecting nouns with “of”, the noun before “of” is the subject:

Example 1: The bag of groceries is on the table.

Example 2: The bags of groceries are on the table.

Exception: When using expressions that indicate portions (“some of”, “half of”, etc.), the verb matches the noun after “of”.

Example 1: Many of the people want to go home.

Example 2: Some of the cake is gone.

2. Two subjects joined by “and” have a plural verb:

Example: The motorcycle and the car race down the road.

3. When including multiple subjects connected with “or” or “nor”, the verb matches the closest subject:

Example 1: The mother or the father makes supper each day.

Example 2: Neither the mother nor her children want to take out the garbage.

Note: If the sentence feels awkward, consider reordering your subjects or rephrasing the sentence.

4.  Sometimes multiple items make up a single unit and thus use a singular verb. This is common with periods of time, amounts of money, and measures of distance:

Example 1: Forty-five minutes is a long wait.

Example 2: Ten dollars is a fair price.

5. With “here” or “there”, the verb matches the noun after the verb.

Example 1: There are the documents.

Example 2: Here is a pencil.

Read the following poem and answer the question that follows. "I Like to See It Lap the Miles" by Emily Dickinson I like to see it lap the miles, And lick the valleys up, And stop to feed itself at tanks; And then, prodigious, step Around a pile of mountains, And, supercilious, peer In shanties by the sides of roads; And then a quarry pare To fit its sides, and crawl between, Complaining all the while In horrid, hooting stanza; Then chase itself down hill And neigh like Boanerges; Then, punctual as a star, Stop—docile and omnipotent— At its own stable door. This poem describes a train as if it were a horse. Examine the imagery of the line in bold. What does it describe? A.) A train stopping to let get fuel and passengers B.) A train showing up late to its home station C.) A train breaking down in the middle of the track D.) A train stopping to let passengers enjoy the view

Answers

Answer:

A.) A train stopping to let get fuel and passengers

Explanation:

From the poem given below, I Like To See It Lap The Miles by Emily Dickinson, a train is described as a horse and it is narrated by the poet how he wants to see the train "lap the miles" and move down the valley before stopping to "feed itself at tanks" which means that the train stopped to get fuel and then move through the mountains, before stopping by the sides of the roads to "fit its sides" which can be interpreted to mean getting passengers.

Read the poem “If We Must Die” by Claude McKay.

If we must die—let it not be like hogs
Hunted and penned in an inglorious spot,
While round us bark the mad and hungry dogs,
Making their mock at our accursed lot.
If we must die—oh, let us nobly die
So that our precious blood may not be shed
In vain; then even the monsters we defy
Shall be constrained to honor us though dead!

Oh, Kinsmen! We must meet the common foe;
Though far outnumbered, let us still be brave,
And for their thousand blows deal one death-blow!
What though before us lies the open grave?
Like men we’ll face the murderous, cowardly pack,
Pressed to the wall, dying, but—fighting back!

What sentence best conveys the speaker’s message?
Nature is more powerful than man.
Victory is unlikely when one is outnumbered.
There is honor in dying courageously.
Nonviolence is the only way to prevent bloodshed.

Answers

Answer:
