Some pronouns are plural eg we they and some verbs have plural forms eg are were. So when you are you are writing/speaking your pronouns and verbs should agree

Some examples:

We is having a holiday - in this sentence the pronoun and verb do not agree. The pronoun (we) is plural but the verb (is) is singular. This sentence is correct - We are having a holiday.

She are happy - this sentence the pronoun (she) is singular but the verb (are) is plural so the subject and verb do notagree.

Another situation where subject verb agreement is important is in present sentences that have he/she/it or a singular noun as subject. In these sentences the verb must have an -s added eg walks talks eats eg

She learns the piano.. He walks to school. It eats anything. (he/she/it as subject)

The teacher likes ice cream. (a singular noun subject)

They walks to school. - this is not correct, they is a plural subject
