Why should people study subject verb agreement?
In order to avoid sentences where the plural in the predicate is mistaken for a plural subject: What I need are some friends. Or like this: None of them are here, where the plural partitive "of them" is mistaken for a plural subject. Correctly, these sentences are: What I need is some friends; and None of them is here. Other number confusions occur frequently in English, like "those kind," and school-marmish hyper-corrections like "aren't I?"
Which one the following sentences demonstrates correct subject verb agreement a Elena thinks five dollars are a lot of money b Each of his sisters go to a different school?
No. Each is your subject. Go is your verb. "Of his sisters" is a prepositional phrase. If you remove the prepositional phrase and throw it into the garbage can, the sentence would read: Each go to a different school. Proper English demands the sentence read: Each goes to a different school. Now lets fish the phrase out of the garbage can. Each of his sisters goes to a different school.

Is the following phrase written correctly Physics was your worst subject in high school?
Yes. Although it may sound better if you said, "Your worst subject in high school was Physics". Though "Physics" ends in an "s" it is still singular because it is talking about onesubject.
