Subject Verb Agreement for the GMAT Verbal exam



Subject / Verb Agreement



		Agreement occurs between the subject and the verb in a sentence when their forms match. The subject and verb of a sentence must agree. Agreement between a subject and a verb occurs when both are singular or both plural.



	Example:	When a subject refers to one thing or person, it should be matched with a singular verb. Charlie lives in New Mexico, but he visits us during the holidays every year. When a subject refers to more than one thing or persons, it should be matched with a plural verb. My relatives live in New Mexico, but they visit us during the holidays every year.



Compound Subjects



		When a sentence has a subject made up of a group of words that are connected with and, it is considered a plural subject and needs to be matched with a plural verb.



	Example:	Tom and Jill, are going to the movies together. The subject is Tom and Jill. The verb is are, instead of is. Is would be a singluar verb for a singular subject.
