Subject Verb Agreement
1.The simple present form of verb is used to show habitual action. This action is signaled by
Common Expressions such as:
during vacation everyday every morning before going to bed after eating
during weekends every month every year in the afternoon in the evening
2. The –s form of the verb is used to show present time when the subject is a singular noun or
pronoun, He, She, or It.
3. We add –es to verbs ending in ch, sh, z, s and x when the subject is singular.
4. For verbs ending in –y, change y to i and add –es.
